Overview
I will be cycling across Canada, meeting with citizens of First Nations and providing them with pamphlets and brochures of information about preventing or minimizing the effects of Diabetes. I hope to be able to provide a role model about how an active lifestyle can lead to better health.
I will be cycling from St Johns Newfoundland to the Saanich First Nation on Vancouver Island. I will be leaving St Johns on June 21, planning to arrive in Saanich on August 18th, about 60 days from start to finish.
I will have a group of four young people as a staff who will be responsible for services in support of the ride, such as driving the "chase car" and arranging for stops along the way.
The intent is to raise money for the National Aboriginal Diabetes Association so that they may continue their good work in teaching Canadians, all Canadians about the effects of this disease and what they we can do to prevent or even eliminate Diabetes. Ahow! miigwetch
