This summer I am riding my bike across Canada to raise money for Tuberous Sclerosis Canada. I started in Vancouver and I am riding east! I am going Coast to Coast for Tuberous Sclerosis Canada (Coast2Coast4TSC).

I have completed my journey!!!

It is not too late to  help me to reach my goal of $1/km by sponsoring me on the Tuberous Sclerosis Canada webpage
— look for the button under my picture!

UPDATE: JOURNEY COMPLETE!

My journey is finally complete! Final stats: days = 70 (61 ride days, 9 rest days – June 1-August 9, 2012), KMs = 7252, provinces = 10, time zones =6, flat tires = 7 and blood, sweat and tears = incalculable
A larger than life thank you goes out to everyone for all of the amazing and incredible love and support throughout the entire journey! I’m still working on finishing up the blogs and getting the website updated, so keep checking! I’ll try and get some pictures up soon :) It’s so great to finally be back home!

Thank you to everyone who as sponsored me — and for those who haven’t its not too late!!! You can still visit the Tuberous Sclerosis Canada webpage and click on the “DONATE” button under my picture on their home page.

 

Please donate to my cause by going to the Tuberous Sclerosis Canada website and clicking on “Donate” by my picture (about 1/2 way down the page):

  2. Good luck with the ride guys! There is not just one but two people on this ride, give Big Kev some recognition :) I’ll be sure to be on the side of the road as you pass through Ontario with a bottle of water and a slap on the ass for both of you as you get ever closer to the Newfoundland finish line!

  3. Greetings Mel and Kev! I hope the Vancouver rain didn’t dampen your start too much. I certainly will be making a donation to your cause. May the wind be always at your back. Love Pappa. Vaya con Dios.
