9:00 AM to 9:00 PM

My Name is Siobhan McManus and I am a 24 year old Commerce student at Royal Roads University. From September 9th to 23rd, I will ride a 15-day, 7,000 km trans-Canada odyssey from Vancouver to Halifax. I am one of 43 selected national riders and one of 2 riders selected to represent BC. Together, our goal is to raise 1.5 million dollars on behalf of charities that improve the quality of life for children, and their families, living with and beyond cancer. Our destination is beyond cancer!

My personal fundraising goal is to raise $25,000 before I depart for the ride on September 9th. As a fundraising initiative I I would like to invite everyone out to this fun filled event for such a worthy cause!

60 volunteer participants will cycle 1 hour shifts as a relay race to accompany Siobhan McManus, the National Rider, who will cycle for 12 consecutive hours!

You are invited to come out to the event, cheer on our volunteers and enjoy fun, food, prizes and live entertainment!

The goal on Friday is to raise $12000 on behalf of the Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation, to support children and their families living with and beyond cancer.

�In the 2009 Sears National Kids Cancer Ride I participated as a �ride along marshal� from Kelowna to Vernon. Before we rode a young boy, only 7 years old, took the microphone and told his story. He proudly exhibited his necklace which spanned from neck to toes. �Bravery Beads� each represent a phase of treatment, a needle poke, a chemo treatment, a surgery, etc. He remembered that his favorite time at the hospital was being let out of isolation to enjoy his fourth birthday. We have the power to come together as a community and make childhood cancer history! Join me on Friday August 6th to make this goal a reality!�

This event is supported by Sears, and Aloyd Fitness Equipment.
