Bike clinic fund raising for The Bridge Hospice healing cycle ride team

Sue Dickens, EMC

Bike inspections and mini tune-ups, safety sessions and lessons are all part of a bike clinic and barbeque being hosted by The Bridge Hospice (TBH) healing cycle riding team.

Any hospice palliative care organization that wants to raise money through the annual Healing Cycle Ride in Mississauga can enter a team and TBH supporters are gearing up for the big event.

“One hundred per cent of the funds raised by our team will go directly to The Bridge Hospice,” said David Pollack, one of the cyclists who will be participating in the healing cycle ride which takes place June 23 in Mississauga.

The bike clinic at the Warkworth arena is one way they hope to raise sponsorship for the ride.

Stella Stacey TBH Board member on left receiving $5000 from Bev RoyBev & Ross Roy orchestrated another fabulous fashion event at the Warkworth Centre for the Performing Arts. The sold out event took place on Fri and Sat Oct 21st and Oct 22nd, 2012.

There was an amazing variety of models and the clothing was supplied from several local Northumberland clothing stores – Trentmendous! from Warkworth and
Dragon Fly & Gina Boyd Boutique from Brighton. Many exciting brand names and wearable clothing for all occasions!

The audience was also entertained by the beautiful Lemmon Sisters and some very funny skits, a sort of Dolly Parton and Willy Nelson theme compliments of Bev Roy & Gerhardt Marzinski. There was much laughter and audience participation.

Behind the scenes, there were eight dressers helping with the many clothing changes. All in all it was an incredibly sophisticated and professional event. Numerous phone calls and emails of congratulations poured in after the event.

And best of all, there was $5000 raised for The Bridge Hospice. Many thanks to Bev and Ross Roy and all the people that helped put together this great event.

It was a perfect sunny autumn day; there were 76 participants.

  • 13 k – 22 men, 12 women
  • 5 km – 13 men, 21 women
  • 1 km – 8 children

The youngest racer was 7 and the oldest 69.

The Dinkel family had 3 generations in the running. Way to go !

Thanks to all the sponsors/donors/volunteers who helped make this happen.

A summary of the money raised will be posted shortly.

The one comment that was heard so many times around the finishing line, once racers had a moment to catch their breath was how much they like the 13k course - it is challenging and beautiful!

Challenging is an understatement – it is hard to walk, never mind run!
