SDVSA newsletter Q2-2010
Byron Wallace, a member for a number of years now, with only a short lapse in membership when he moved out of province for a while, has the following announcement requesting your support.
I have signed up for the 2010 Give To Live Cycle For Life ride. Check out the official website for more information. http://www.givetolive.ca/
In October 2010, Lyndsay and I will be leaving on a 2 week cycling journey from Vancouver, BC all the way to Austin, Texas. In order to participate, Lyndsay and I EACH have to raise $5,000. So yes, that is a huge combined fundraising goal of $10,000.
I am not asking you for donations, but rather to ask you to create awareness for our cause. The ride is not until October 2010, which means that training is to start pronto! We also would love any fundraising ideas or advice you may have to offer us.
We have an email that I have created, specifically for the cause: lyndsay.byron@gmail.com
Please feel free to email us if:
- You have any questions about the Give To Live 2010 Cycle For Life ride.
- You would like to lend a hand with fundraising
- You would like to sponsor us
- You know someone who we can speak to about cycling and/or nutrition
- You know of a business or corporation that would be interested in sponsoring us.
- You know of a business or corporation that would donate items for auction for a fundraising event.
- You know of a business or corporation that would donate its time/location for a fundraising event.
- You have connections to either the Times Colonist or local radio stations 107.3 Kool Fm, The Zone, 100.3 The Q!
- You want to share some words of wisdom or even moral support! :0)
We have also created a Face Book group called "Give To Live 2010 (Lyndsay & Byron)". Just search it, it should come up. If you join, it merely just shows your moral support for us! Invite your friends if you feel so inclined - the more the merrier!
It should be easy to spot in the search index as our ugly mugs pop up right away LOL. This Face Book page will be used as a blog and information update about our training, fundraising events, and donations.

IRC is proud and happy that long term member, Gil Stuart, was chosen to be one of the Olympic Flame runners. Here you can see him just before he hands over the flame to the next runner, near Courtenay BC.
If any other club member, or rallyist does the same, please send me a photo so that yours can be added here.
