Four years already...

Dear readers, this blog contains the stories and memories dating back to September 2005, when six cyclists decided to undertake a fundraising challenge for their company, Novartis, for the benefit of the CIBC Run for the Cure. The riders cycled 600km in 3.5 days, from Toronto to Montreal, arriving back at their head office just West of downtown having raised $26,000 for charity.

Now, in 2008, the team has grown to almost 30 riders following the same route, and we have set a remarkable goal of raising $100,000 for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation... on the last day, we will be joined by another 20 cyclists who will get a taste of the team spirit and physical challenge this entails.

Thank you for visiting and please come back to read about our progress, we've had a late start updating the blog this year, but there are lots of great stories and pictures to uncover as our riders continue to discover the joy and meaning of this event...to those of you who have ridden in the past, I hope you will share a smile. ;-)
