2 Wheels, 2 Days, 2 x 100 K (continued)...

Wow. I can't believe it has been over a month since my last entry. May and June can be crazy, busy months though, what with the class trips, recitals, soccer season, exams, and graduations, and finally the return of the sun and warm weather (in between the thunder storms). It's a great time of year to get out and do something...like this...

This past weekend my husband joined over 2,800 other cyclists in the two-day Ride to Conquer Cancer, covering over 200 kilometres from Toronto to the Niagara Falls. The participants raised over $14,000,000 to benefit research at the Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto, one of the world's top 5 cancer research facilities.

...he's in there somewhere...

...a sea of tents (some opted for a hotel instead-wonder why?)...

...celebrating the finish along the shores of the Niagara River just before the Falls...this is definitely what Rod calls a "good weekend" - spending two days doing something he loves, for a very good cause...

For a good cause...

My husband is doing a very good thing.

On just two wheels,

over two days,

covering 200 km,

he is joining other cyclists in the Ride to Conquer Cancer.

This fundraising event will benefit the world-renowned cancer centre, the Princess Margaret Hospital.


For more information, feel free to visit Rod's event website and of course, any donation would be gratefully appreciated!


I wonder if there are any patterns on Ravelry for bicycle seat covers? (Just kidding!)
