Today, the Rotary Club of Saint John sponsored the National Kids Cancer Ride as a Coast to Coast Children's Champion
#RotarySaintJohn is pleased to support Shelley Wood, past Rotarian with a $1000 donation to the National Kids Cancer Ride.
This is her 3rd ride in this cross Canada event. 100% of donations raised by riders is directed to kids, their families, and childhood cancer programs.
Shelley says the hardest day on the bike ride is nothing compared to what a sick kid goes through.
She will ride her bike for 8 hours a day for 18 days, and riders do between 180-300 km a day.
She takes 3 weeks vacation to do this and has raised over $15,000 just herself.
Why? Because she wants to make a difference.
She says families have turned their tragic cancer diagnosis into something positive and this has inspired her.
Shelley we are so inspired by YOU! Good luck!
