On July 20-21, I will be riding 230km alongside 124 other riders representing 9 Vancouver Island hospices to raise awareness and donations for hospice care. This is my sixth year participating in this event.

It’s a cause I believe in. Hospice services are something that touches all of us in a very personal way. I lost a dear friend six years ago, and that experience continues to motivate me to support this wonderful organization.

The death of someone very close may feel overwhelming and impact many aspects of your life. Victoria Hospice Bereavement Services are available to help you understand grief and adjust to your loss.

Every donation, no matter what the size, will make a big difference, and you will receive a tax receipt. I am respectfully asking that you please consider supporting my ride for the Victoria Hospice Society. Thanks to all of you who have supported me in previous years, and with your help, we have raised over $30,000.
