Putting the Fun in Fundraising

One of our new members, Dereck Lynn, says:

A new road bike cycling tour raising money for charity is coming to Calgary this year on July 21st and 22nd that I thought you and the other members of bicisport might be interested in. It is called the Tour For Kids and is part of an organization called Coast to Coast Against Cancer. All proceeds from the ride will go to the Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta, in support of sending children with cancer to camp in Alberta.

The ride is approximately 160 km or 100 km per day and is fully supported. The ride will also be organised into smaller groups of 20 riders of similar strength into pace groups, which is great for me because 160km is a long way for me to go solo.

Here is the link for the website with complete information.

The company I work for (Enerplus Resources Fund) is a sponsor and I have also signed up to race.

Cheers!
