First off...Canucks for Kids raised a ton of money yesterday...and the 'nucks won a big game to boot. Thank you to everyone who participated and donated for the big night.
Now...to business. I need a bike patron. This realisation came to me yesterday as I tried to get my keys out of my back pack while approaching the garage door to the parking lot. With one hand on my front brake and keys in the other...I was not able to apply enough brake pressure to stop...and consequently used the slowly rising garage door to stop. Very embarrassing. On the way home I had to stop to fill my tires with air again...up from their present 30 psi to the prescribed 55psi. No wonder I was moving so slow!
Any body who is willing to sponsor me in the form of a bike...I am all ears..brake pads...and under inflated tires.

The Adventure Challenges are breathtakingly beautiful rambles over sea, lake, mountain trails (and some long pavement) raising money for Canuck Place Children's Hospice, Canucks for Kids Fund and 60 Minute Kids Club. Locations: Jericho Beach, Vancouver BC, BC and Cultus Lake in Chilliwack, BC. One race will include a 4km Ocean Kayak / 20km Mountain Bike / 5km Trail Run and the other a 4k Lake Kayak, 30k road bike, and an 8km ramble in a beautiful rain forest. I do BOTH of them.

The Blog
My name is Malcolm and I was a volunteer at Canuck Place Children's Hospice in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada for nearly seven years. Now I support them by raising money by participating in the Canuck Place Adventure Challenges!
I said hospice. Not really a word that you associate with children but there you go. We will tell you about the house as this blog progresses with the hope that you will learn, and as you learn we hope that you will share. The purpose of the Adventure Challenge is to raise money for AND awareness about Canuck Place.
The name of each kid at the house you read about has been changed.
September 14th and 15th are the dates for the next Adventure Challenges.
You can sponsor me for the race here: Adventure Challenge
Maybe you should do the race?

Just a quick note about the names of the kids in the house that you will read about: they are made up!
