KarmaTiger Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 some of you may remember when I starved myself this summer to call attention to the dangers of poor eating habits and fad diets. As part of my recovery, I was given a bike to ride around on, building muscle back up with a low impact workout. i hadn't been on a bike since I was about 9, but I was quickly hooked. Within 5 weeks I was up to 50 km/day. So... I've partnered with Prostate Cancer Canada (since they only get less than 1/50th of the funding that the pink ribbon bunch get), and will be riding my bike from coast to coast across Canada to raise, hopefully, $2 million for their cause. If you're interested, you can check out http://www.strongandfree.org to follow along. if you're really interested, i'm looking for people to join me for a leg or two here and there. Be sure to click 'like' in the facebook fan box. Numbers are something potential sponsors look at, and it would really help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarmaTiger Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 So far there's been slow but steady growth. More fans on the Facebook page would really help get sponsors behind this. If you can spare a sec to click 'like' that'd be awesome http://www.facebook.com/pages/Strong-And-Free/113375188731660 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarmaTiger Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 Done! Many thanks! Every bit helps. I've just 5 months left to raise all the sponsorship money, co-ordinate the logistics, get in better shape, etc. Nothing like a challenge!

KarmaTiger Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 congratulation mate!! Thanks When I've actually ridden coast to coast is when I'll have humbly earned any congratulations that come my way, but your encouragement is appreciated. At least raise prostate cancer awareness and raise a couple of bucks for PCC's research programs then it'll be worth it. It would be kinda neat to have people come out to troop at the media events in major cities as I pass through... anyone know who I'd talk to in order to set something up?
