Cultivating Change Through Cycling
Bike For Brain Health
The Bike for Brain Health bicycle ride stands as the largest one-day cycling event in Canada, offering participants a unique and unforgettable experience as they traverse the DVP and Gardiner Expressway through the bustling downtown core of Toronto. Beyond the thrill of the ride, this event holds profound significance as a fundraiser for Baycrest hospital, a Toronto-based institution dedicated to addressing the challenges of aging and dementia. Given the prevalence of these issues in the lives of most Canadians, supporting Baycrest becomes a shared commitment to the well-being of our community. The event brings together diverse communities, families, and cyclists, transforming a day of cycling into a collective effort to make a positive impact. The joy of cycling is seamlessly woven with the satisfaction of contributing to a truly worthy cause, making the Bike for Brain Health ride an extraordinary day of shared purpose and community spirit.
World Bicycle Relief
Over the past several years, we have proudly hosted The 11 Grand Fondo, a remarkable event dedicated to supporting the World Bicycle Relief Foundation. This initiative has left an indelible mark, positively influencing the lives of thousands of individuals through the transformative power of the bicycle. The cause resonates deeply with cyclists, as it's easy to empathize with the profound impact a bicycle can have on someone's life. As avid cyclists ourselves, we inherently understand the freedom, empowerment, and sense of community that riding a bike brings. Supporting the World Bicycle Relief Foundation is not just about charity; it's a shared belief in the life-changing potential of two wheels. By participating in the 11 Grand Fondo and rallying behind this cause, we embrace the opportunity to make a tangible difference to those who otherwise would be without.
Project Saving Legs
Project Saving Legs stands out as a small yet immensely impactful cycling event nestled in the picturesque Niagara region, dedicated to supporting Dr. Giuseppe Papia's foundation. The foundation's noble mission is nothing short of revolutionary – to save legs through groundbreaking surgical interventions. Conducted at Sunnybrook, these surgeries aim to prevent leg amputations among individuals battling severe diabetes. Project Saving Legs is a grassroots fundraising initiative with a profound reach, touching the lives of thousands of people. Beyond the medical significance, the event creates a vibrant cycling community of like-minded individuals. It transforms a day of cycling into a shared commitment to a cause that goes beyond the pedals, fostering a sense of camaraderie among participants who collectively contribute to the life-changing work of Dr. Papia's foundation.
