My friend Nic Ahola of SNAP Richmond Hill recently sent me an e-mail message that read, “I am putting the final touches on the Heart and Stroke Big Bike Ride that will be held on May 18th 2010. I have 30 seats for the ride and would like to invite you to participate in this great cause. This cause is very close to my heart as my father passed away at the age of 40 due to a heart attack and I hope that you will be able to spend ½ hour that day in trying to make a difference while having some laughs and a good workout. ”
Just got back from the ride. Somehow I thought we would all be seated on some sort of motorized tricycle for 30. The bike resembled a tandem bike however it was for 50 & everyone was required to peddle. We rode up and down Yonge Street with a Police Escort. Everyone was cheering and screaming. What a great way to start the day & a such a fun way to support a worthy cause.
Sorry you were so young when you lost your Father Nic.
All the best!

P.S. Someone is going to email me a picture. I’ll post it when I receive it.
