We'll be leaving from Richmond Hill/Aurora, Ontario on May 1st. We will be heading east until we get to St. John's NewFoundland. We'll then fly over to Victoria, British Columbia, and continue cycling eastward until we arrive back in Richmond Hill/Aurora.

We got business cards that have our website's URL, so we hope to be able to continue raising money for the First Nations Child & Family Caring Society while we're cycling from town to town. That URL again is: http://www.canadahelps.org/GivingPages/GivingPage.aspx?gpID=17127
We've got our bikes, now we just need our camping equipment and to tie a few more loose ends and we'll be good to go.
