CN CHEO Ride (OTTAWA)
Hey, everyone.
Here's the deal, I dislike imposing, especially on people I haven't met in person (in most cases). However, I'm riding, bicycling, specifically, in the CN Cycle for CHEO on Sunday (May 2nd).
CHEO is the <i>Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario</i>.
And I'm posting this in the "Canada" subforum, because I really, really don't feel it's fair to ask anyone outside the country to donate.
But I'm looking for sponsorship in that ride. Two bucks, ten bucks, a hundred bucks. Whatever you want to donate, whatever you can spare. If it's $10 or more, you get a tax recipt.
My first two years in Ottawa, for school, I rented a room: the owner lived in the house and rented rooms out. She was a total sweetheart of a lady, and she worked in the Cancer ward at CHEO. I heard all her stories about the things these kids go through. This is my one big charity gig for the year, in large part because of that.
Because of very generous donations from corporations in the area, 100% of all donations from people go to the CHEO Foundation, Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Support Programs, and Ronald McDonald House. They do good things for kids who really don't have a lot of good things in their lives.
If you can donate, I'd appreciate it. And if you'd like to do so, please use the Secure Donations Page
And if you want to come out and laugh at me riding in the rain, it's 8:30am Sunday morning, starting and finishing at the War Museum. I'm riding in the 70km event (i'm hoping to finish in 2h30m or less) The Events
Thanks folks. I'll only ask this once, as I don't believe in ramming this stuff down people's throats. But you gotta ask, if you're going to find out.
Again, thanks to all that do help.
