In 7 days....we ride for Wellspring once again...

Round 6 begins for me in one week. It's always an exciting time, while still extremely busy as we ensure that everything is all set before the bicycle wheels hit the road. We have an amazing group of 28 riders and a dozen volunteers set to make the journey from Toronto to Miami this year.

Thank you to everyone who has supported....the Cheung family has raised almost $13,000 so far! And with all the generous donations along with corporate sponsorships, total funds raised for Wellspring is reaching the $500,000 mark! Wow!

This blog will be active again as of launch day on Saturday, September 24th as I do my best to keep you updated on this year's event. If you're not getting posts via email automatically....just sign up on on the right side of the webpage. I hope to share inspiring stories and lots of photos once again.

For now...a few pre-ride photos....the first is of Elsie Budhu, along with my team mate Tom. Elsie is our team's Wellspring Warrior, which is a unique component of our ride. She is a stage 1 breast cancer survivor and fortunate to be cancer free after a year of surgery and chemotherapy. Her amazing son Ron has been a volunteer driver for us since the first year of our event. Our team is so grateful to have Elsie as our warrior...who will provide continual inspiration and focus on why this ride is so important.




This is our full team on one of the many training rides we did in preparation for our long journey.


And here is a glimpse of our route....2,868kms....15,000 meters of elevation....7 days non-stop relay....



Will update you again in a week!
