Ready to Go

Well after months of planning, training, fund raising and prep Megan and I are almost ready to leave for Quebec City to join the 4whatmatters National Cycling relay. We will be cycling from Quebec City starting on Wed Aug 31st and finishing in Digby NS on Sunday the 4th of Sept during the Digby Wharf Rat Rally.

We are both so thankful to everyone that has made donations, both big and small and supported us in so many way. We are very proud of the fact that we have raised just shy of $5,000.00 all of which will be given directly the Montreal based research project that we have chosen to support. There are some earlier post that talk about Dr. Sylvie and her team and I encourage you read about her work and the great team she has around her. I had the opportunity to visit the lab a couple of weeks ago in Montreal and I am convinced her work will lead to something great for Juvenile Diabetics.

Over the next few days of the trip Megan and I will be using various means to keep family and friends up to date on our progress and "life on the road" The following links are social media we intend to use, including this blog.
