Training and the rules!

I have downloaded the 10 week training guide, as well as what to expect!!! OH BOY!
I can do this, I know I can. My biggest challenge to date ( besides being a mom).

Why you may ask.. because this is a charity I believe in, that I know does make the difference in so many lives. That the funds raise goes to the ones who need it, and best of all -

It's helping our Soldiers help others! 

I'm not one to do fundraising and to be honest I feel really uncomfortable asking for money, especially with our economie, but like I said before this is a charity worth donating to. For once I know that what I am doing is going to help children, women in need and most of all families!

So I have placed a widget on my blog in hopes that I can ask for my readers for their support.

What is Boomer's Legacy??

Boomer’s Legacy was created in 2006 to embody the passion Cpl. Andrew “Boomer” Eykelenboom had towards helping people in need in areas where he was deployed as a Canadian Forces Medical Technician. The goal of Boomer’s Legacy is to empower Canadian Forces soldiers, sailors, airmen and airwomen with the ability to carry on Andrew’s strongly felt desire to provide much needed humanitarian assistance to people in areas of deployed Canadian operations.

Boomer’s Legacy raises funds for these endeavors primarily by “Boomer Rides,” which are road-cycling trips that gather individual and group sponsorship. Currently Boomer Rides are held on an annual basis in British Columbia and Nova Scotia, with Rides in Alberta and Ontario being added this year. There have even been Boomer “Spin-a-Thon” Rides held by deployed troops in Afghanistan!

Pass on this information, make a difference and show that we care for those that are making sure that we get to spend Christmas with our families.

Getting ready for my ride

I have to send a HUGE HUGE thank you to Goldstream Cycle's again for their amazing staff.

Steve and the gang are incredible, not only making sure I have the proper bike for me, but also a huge mental support from everyone in the store.

The other day I was asked to come it to make sure my bike is fitting me properly and to make sure my riding form is up to par.  With their help I know I will be ready for the ride for Boomer's Legacy in June 2013.

Come the new year I will be posting a link on my website to anyone who wishes to donate to the foundation and help me raise as much as I can for this incredible charity. 

AGAIN THANK YOU GOLDSTREAM CYCLE!!!!
