About to enter Washington

Hello is anybody out there. If so, this is brief.

Rose and I are still on Saltspring Island. We have had a wonderful few days around the gorgeous and sunny island.

Today didn't go as planned. We need to downsize some possessions and get a professional to properly tighten Rose's front bicycle rack. Tomorrow, we will be in Victoria and perhaps even Anacortes, WA.

Will post some exciting stories and pictures as they come.

Ray-Yana Century Ride

Friday, the 13th of September will be the day that I participate in a 100mile bicycle ride throughout the Comox Valley; my mission is to raise money for YANA [You Are Not Alone].

This organization holds a special place in my heart. You see, for most who are unaware, I was born premature, which complicated things in my family just a little bit. Spending months and months in incubation at Vancouver Children's Hospital was no sweet off my back; but for my family, particularly my mom, being able to visit from Courtenay regularly was financially not possible. It was YANA who gave financial assistance for my family during this trying time.

In short, I feel YANA is an important organization in the Comox Valley. And they deserve financial support. If not for fellow Valley donars, YANA would probably not exist.

So please, if you agree that this organization deserves your'attention, you can send me an email, rlawake@gmail.com or call me at 250-331-0604. The money I collect will be given to YANA.

Directly bellow, you will see all the bicycle routes that will be ridden to reach the 100mile goal.
