My Story…
Hello friends and family,
My team (Cyclo-CurMudGeons) and I will be out and cycling for a good cause! I will be completing two different rides from July 29 - August 7, 2022:
Ride distance:
- 112 nautical miles (207 Km) for 112 years of the Royal Canadian Navy; and
- 80Km Anniversary Ride - this is to celebrate two monumental anniversaries! 2022 marks the 80th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Naval Benevolent Fund Benevolent Fund as well as the 80th anniversary of the Women’s Royal Canadian Naval Service (WRCNS), a vital part of the Royal Canadian Navy during World War II.
All funds raised by our team will support 3 organizations dedicated to the well-being of the RCN's current and former sailors and their families:
The Royal Canadian Naval Benevolent Fund, Support Our Troops and Soldier On.
Please help my team and I raise $5000 by clicking the link below to donate for a good cause.
Description
MAKE WAVES WITH US!
This year the Canadian community is coming together virtually to cycle 30,000 rides and take part in our new rides over the summer to support of the women and men who serve our country.
The aviators, sailors, and soldiers of our Canadian Armed Forces wear the maple leaf as a symbol of pride and patriotism on their uniforms. Each day they wear the maple leaf as they represent and protect our nation at home and abroad. Their families are the strength behind the uniform as they experience frequent moves, lengthy absences, and the risks of family members serving in physically and mentally demanding and dangerous situations.
Canadian Armed Forces members and their families are championed through Support Our Troops, Soldier On, and the Royal Canadian Naval Benevolent Fund. You will assist:
- empower youth to pursue their academic dreams
- maintain the dignity, independence, and well-being of families during financial hardship
- send children of military families to camp bringing them a renewed energy and a support network
- support ill and/or injured members in their rehabilitation and recovery through the transformative power of sport, recreation, and creative pursuits
Your support is crucial as the need in times of relative peace and heightened conflict, Canadian Armed Forces members keep Canada the peaceful, secure country that we proudly call home.

PÉDALONS À L’UNISSON!
Cette année, les Canadiens d’un océan à l’autre s’unissent virtuellement pour réaliser 30 000 randonnées à vélo pendant l’été afin d’appuyer les femmes et les hommes qui servent notre pays.
Les aviateurs, les matelots et les soldats des Forces armées canadiennes (FAC) portent sur leur uniforme la feuille d’érable, symbole de fierté et de patriotisme, alors qu’ils représentent et protègent le Canada, ici et à l’étranger. Leurs familles constituent la force derrière l’uniforme, car elles doivent faire face à des déménagements fréquents, des absences prolongées et à l’inquiétude qui accompagne le service de leur être cher lors de situations dangereuses et exigeantes physiquement et mentalement.
Les membres des FAC et leurs familles bénéficient de l’aide d’Appuyons nos troupes, de Sans limites et de la Caisse de bienfaisance de la Marine royale canadienne. Les fonds recueillis serviront à :
- habiliter les jeunes à concrétiser leur rêve de poursuivre des études;
- maintenir la dignité, l’autonomie et le mieux-être des familles lors de difficultés financières;
- envoyer des enfants de familles de militaires à des camps, leur donnant un regain d’énergie et un réseau de soutien.
- appuyer la réadaptation et le rétablissement des membres des FAC ayant une maladie et/ou une blessure grâce au pouvoir transformateur du sport, des loisirs et des activités créatives;
Votre soutien est primordial autant en temps de paix relative qu’en période de conflit accru. Les membres des FAC assurent la sécurité du Canada, cette patrie dont nous sommes si fiers.
