The Last Day of GearUp4CF 2011
The Last Day of GearUp4CF was an incredible success. An additional 28 riders joined the marathon riders for the Homecoming Ride from Chilliwack to Vancouver, and 4 more for the Final Stretch, from Mission to Vancouver. The riders all arrived together, crossing the finish line at BC Children's Hospital at 3:15pm. Family and friends gathered to welcome them home, whooping and hollering with music blaring and hands clapping.
Together these 46 riders and their supporters have raised more than $160,000 for Cystic Fibrosis Canada. These funds will be directed towards Canadian research projects and treatment centers focused on finding a cure for cystic fibrosis.
Thank you to all our generous sponsors, donors, volunteers and riders. Your committment made this event a tremendous success!
