I have been a member of the Vancouver Rotary Club for many years. Our major fundraiser each year is a ride to support the Rotary Hearing Foundation (RHF). This event is celebrating its 39th anniversary in July, having raised over $3.9 Million for the Rotary Hearing Foundation, a registered charitable society. These funds have been used to further hearing research and treatment at UBC, St. Paul's Hospital and numerous programs to support deaf and hard of hearing projects across BC.
This year the event will be held on Sunday, July 14th. Start from Spanish Banks once around Stanley Park, then on to Richmond, Steveston and back to Spanish Banks. The ride will be 105km with 3 checkpoints along the route. There will be a BBQ and drinks at the Spanish Banks finish line. Each year over 125 riders raise funds in support of the RHF and go for a ride.
I have dusted off my bike and made a few training rides. If you are willing to support the Rotary Hearing Foundation by making a donation please click on the link (tax receipts issued for donations over $20).
If you would like to join the event as a rider, become a sponsor, donate a prize or volunteer please email me.
Thank you for your support,
Chris
