  • "KICK CANCERS BUTT DAY"
    17 Jul 2024

    So, I was wondering about the "KICK CANCERS BUTT DAY" not being on any Calendar that I received for this year.... and so I emailed The Great Cycle Challenge for an answer, and here is the up to date info.

    Yes 4th year, happy to be a part of this. I am being asked almost daily about "Kick Cancers Butt Day" as its not on any calendars I have received or any of our 38 Teammates calendars?

    Is there going to be a "Kick Cancers Butt Day"?

    If so, when?

    Kind Regards

    Hi BigReg,

    Thanks so much for your support of the challenge.

    We're still in the process of securing a match for Kick Cancer's Butt Day this year.

    We will make an announcement if/when in a position to do so to all participants in the challenge by email.

    Cheers,

    Greg Johnson

    Event Manager - Great Cycle Challenge"

    So, just to put this in perspective, I also emailed last year about the same Double Donation Day/Kick Cancers Butt Day, and received a similar response, only to have an email notice about 2 weeks later, after the month of Aug started, that yes, there was indeed a "Kick Cancers Butt Day for 2023". So now you know the skinny on the "Kick Cancers Butt Day" sponsorship.

    In light of this, I know they want Donations to come in organically all the time, Unmatched. But I hold ALL of mine, and do not even Text, Facebook or email any potential Supporters until Aug 9th,10th,11th KICK CANCERS BUTT DAY. To Maximize our Teams Donations!

    Of course this is not always possible and a few get sent in sporadically as our friends and family hear what we are doing. And that's Great Too!

    As the emails states we will all be emailed if and when it happens!

    Excited for the coming month and getting to meet a few teammates at our

    TEAM RIDE

    Sat Aug 10th. at Shearwater flyers Trail head, CFB Shearwater for a 10am START,

    I will be there by 9am unloading and setting up for the Ride.

    Again you can pick up the Rails to Trails at a dozen road crossings leading out to Lawrence town Beach, and therefore pick as long or short a ride you can handle/prefer from 38 kms return to 3 kms return. It's so easy!

    If we leave at 10am we will be at Lawrencetown Beach by 11:30am to 12pm.

    Bigger groups tend to be only as fast as the slowest rider.

    And with all the Hey Nice to Meet You's! etc. expect approx 12 noon arrival at Lawrencetown Beach ish?

    Again no schedule, just Loosey Goosey, Fun Run, Meet & Greet, Pics & Fries when we all arrive at Lawrencetown Beach!

    Wow! Can't wait!

    Too Awesome!

    Kind Regards

    This in from Ryan Sabean-Hiltz one of our GCC All Stars.

    Hey there EAST COAST CRUISERS, You are Invited!

    Just wanted to pass along that I will be running my parents booth#53 at the Wolfville Farmers Market July 13th.

    SATURDAY MARKET

    8:30am - 1:00pm | 24 Elm Ave

    https://www.wolfvillefarmersmarket.ca/saturday-market

    https://app.marketwurks.com/api/images/8cf3b1a5e5cdd1f53aab2433a14bb2e0/image.png

    A percentage of what I earn will be donated to me from my parents. I do not appear to be able to communicate with the team through the website, I thought I might ask if you could mention it in a thread for those local to the area.

    The booth is Timber Art, they create signs and ornaments.

    Regards

    Ryan
