Team up with us against cancer!

Hey guys, for the second year in a row, my team and I are participating in the Ride to Conquer Cancer here in Canada! A nice ride of over 150 miles from Montreal to Quebec city!

Last year many of you proved to be very generous and I really appreciate the support because we’re so committed to the cause. I’m asking for your help again this year, and you can see the post from last year here with more information about the charitable work being done: https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=1106178

As some of you may know, I was born with severe asthma and I've been taking medication my whole life for it. I cycle 37miles to and from work as often as I can. It was during one of these rides that I started coughing up blood. If I hadn’t been pushing my lungs every day on the bike, my tumour would never have been diagnosed in 2011. I had it removed because it was blocking 90% of the lung capacity. Happily I have recovered fully, cycling literally saved my life, and for me living life to the fullest and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is now a must. I'm actually training for the Ironman in Syracuse next June!

How you can help cure cancer?

Well, one way is to help spread the word. We have a Facebook page that we are trying to get thousands of real likes, to give thousands of reasons for companies to sponsor us. The page is in both French and English, and will always be bilingual.

Of course another way is by donating some of your time or money. Ideally you can do it here on Indiegogo, so that your contributions can also make the campaign more popular amplify the message to get even more donors. You can also go directly to my page.

If you would like more information on ways you can donate your time, please contact me any time because important causes like this one can use all the volunteers we can get! Any help is very welcome, we are truly committed to the cause and hope to bring real results for something that matters deeply to so many people. You can help!

Thanks in advance,
Raphael
