Why I’m Participating in the Great Canadian Hike

There’s something magical about being on the Trail. The fresh air, the stillness of the trees, and the feeling of connection to nature and community. I’ve always turned to the outdoors for peace, health and perspective — and the Trans Canada Trail offers all that and more.

This fall, I’m joining the Great Canadian Hike, a nationwide challenge where people across Canada will hike, bike, paddle or roll and log their kilometres to collectively reach 30,000 kilometres in 30 days — the length of the Trail from coast to coast to coast.

From September 20 to October 19, I’ll be logging my kilometres and raising funds to help keep the Trail accessible, safe, and thriving — for everyone, now and for future generations.

You can sign up to participate, donate directly to my fundraising page, or share my campaign with your network to help spread the word.

Let’s be part of something great — together.

Why I Enjoy Cycling

Monday 29th Sep
Why do I enjoy cycling? Cycling helps me feel closer to nature. I love riding trails and taking scenic routes, finding beautiful views to take in and new places to explore. I like the freedom of cycling. It allows me to forget about my current issues and challenges me to stay in good shape while encouraging myself to ride consistently. It's a great mode of transportation that allows us to reduce our travel time in comparison to walking and even sometimes taking the transit, and it's an environmentally friendly way to commute. My late Father was an avid cyclist and his love for riding inspired my passion for riding.

Why I'm Participating

Good afternoon, family & friends! For the next month I will be riding for the Great Canadian Hike in support of the Trans Canada Trail.

Fun Fact: The Trans Canada Trail is the longest growing Multi-Use Trail System in the world, extending from North-Western parts of Yukon and North West Territories, coming down to the Southern-Tip of Vancouver Island in BC, leading all across the Provinces to Eastern most tip of Newfoundland, connecting all three of Canada's coastlines.

All proceeds go toward Damage/Maintenance Repairs, Improvements, Trail Extensions, and Training Opportunities.

Every dollar raised helps sustain and grow this lasting legacy for our children, and grandchildren. Let's do our part to preserve this wonderful Trail for future generations, by making small donations, spreading the word online and with friends & family.

Sponsor me today, with a donation of any kind, and join the movement of bettering Canada by supporting its largest growing trail!
