Who:
Debbie Ray & Carlin Val (a husband and wife team) started the non-for-profit organization Cycle 2 Save. They are Ontario Secondary School Teachers with a big interest in "preventative medicine" (the health and well-being of Canadians). What: Deb & Car are putting their passion to their pedals in a cycle across Canada Where/When: Starting in Vancouver (July 5th) and ending in Halifax (September). Why: To raise awareness for "preventative medicine" proper nutrition and daily physical activity as a way to prevent obesity, chronic diseases, and mental illness. Donations: We aim to raise $7000 ($1/1 km we ride). This money will provide incentives and opportunities for Canadians to get active in their communities. Funds will also support existing charitable programs that educate the public on health and nutrition. Benefits: We all benefit! Proceeds generated will be donated to charitable organizations that encourage proper nutrition and/or provide opportunity for physical activity in our communities. |
