My Story…
Due to progressive vision loss i had to give up my bike and stop riding in 2007. TRAILBLAZERS has allowed me to get back on a bike and ride. Something I didn't think I'd ever get to do again. Your generous support will enable TRAILBLAZERS to continue to provide me and other members of the blind community with the opportunity to get out and ride, enjoy the outdoors, meet new friends and stay healthy and active. Thank you for your generous support.

Why I’m Participating in EyeRide 2025
On June 21, 2025, our riders will be participating in EyeRide 2025, an event that’s so much more than just kilometres on a bike. It’s about strengthening community, building resilience, and making a real difference for the blind and low-vision community.
Our riders will be cycling 65 km from Toronto to Alliston or 130 km from Toronto to Collingwood alongside both sighted and visually impaired athletes and avid riders. Together, they’ll push past limits, share stories, and support two small yet mighty organizations, both of which are registered charities.
1) BALANCE for Blind Adults provides essential services to help individuals living with vision loss lead independent and fulfilling lives. From rehabilitation and employment support to counseling and mental health programs, BALANCE empowers their clients to navigate life with confidence. This year’s raised funds will assist mental health and well-being programs, led by professionals with lived experience of blindness.
2) TRAILBLAZERS Tandem Cycling Club enables blind and partially sighted cyclists the freedom to ride with sighted volunteers on tandem bikes. This year’s raised funds will assist rejuvenating TRAILBLAZERS’ fleet of aging tandem bikes so they can safely support the mental and physical health of the vision loss community for years to come.
EyeRide isn’t just about raising funds. It creates opportunities and breaks barriers for the vision loss community.
Please join us in supporting this amazing cause. Every donation, no matter the size, helps create a world where everyone can thrive.
Thank you for your generosity!
