See the Sens and Pens for $20

Here's my pitch: I'm doing the CN Cycle for CHEO again this year on May 6th. If you'd like to see the Sens/Penguins game Saturday night, make a minimum $20 donation to my cause HERE and then email me your info HERE (Make sure to include your phone number). Winner will be drawn Sat morning (at 9am). Thank you!

Ever set a goal and try something completely out of your comfort zone? On Sunday May 1st the CN Cycle for CHEO raised 621k and after years of emceeing these events, I biked 70k.

When you're a novice in these events and lazy like me, it was suggested that I train for the event. Huge thanks to my trainer Luke at Greco Lean and Fit (Beech street) and the Ottawa Athletic Club for letting me abuse their stationary bikes.

Recap: 0-30k, fairly simple and straight forward. 30-60k, into the wind and challenging. The last 10k with the finish line in sight, was the best part of the ride. I would encourage anyone who's never done one of these to give it a try and do it on a team or with some friends. My buddies Roger and Gerry (veterans riders) helped me stay with the pack and without them I would still be out there.

Now, after your support of over $4000 raised and 70k in the books...next up, 100k for "Ride the Rideau" this September, benefiting the Ottawa Hospital Foundation. It's only another 30k, how hard could that be?

Biking shorts for a good cause...

Don't let the photo fool you, when it comes to biking more than 5 km I'm still a rookie. Last fall I biked in my first charity event and will be doing it again on Sunday May 1st at the CN Cycle for CHEO. Having emceed many events like these, I'm getting to see the other side...the fundraising side and looking for your support. This event helps kids affected by Cancer, and that alone prompted me to trade the microphone for the handlebars.

I'm grateful if you could make a donation HERE

Thank you
