Hey Algonquinites!
I am riding my bike in the "Ride to Conquer Cancer" this June. It is a 220k ride from Toronto to Niagara Falls.
All of the proceeds will go to the Princess Margaret Hospital, one of the top 5 Cancer research centers in the world.
If you would like to help me on my ride the link IS HERE
For the Canadians, there is a tax receipt for every donation over $10. For everyone else there is the satisfaction of helping in the much needed research. They have done so much already but so much more needs to be done!
Thanks!
P.S. pass this information on!
