Hey hey!

So, yes I am done my ride, but the fight never really ends. So far I have raised $5420!!!! Wicked I know. I am also in a Youth Noise blog/article if you want to check it out! And, I am on of the heroes on Kids Are Heroes website, click me.

I have surpassed my goal, and that is awesome. I always thought I could ride across BC, but never thought that I could fundraise that much money, I did both and more! So thank you very much to everybody!

I don't know if anybody is still reading this, but if you are, I hope you enjoyed reading about my journey as much I as I enjoyed doing it. (And just so you know, riding across BC was the coolest and best thing I have done in my life so far.)

I also have a personal blog, so if you ever feel like a read, click here.

I Made It!

I made it, I biked all the way across BC. I rode 1,227km, (I double checked that number). It is pretty cool. When I started out and thought of the idea, I never though that I would ever make it all the way across, all the way to Victoria! I did. Pam from the Canadian Cancer Society called me, and met me at "Mile Zero" with flowers and balloons from the Cancer Society. Mile Zero is where Terry Fox had hoped to end his run. I actually got lost trying to find it today and had to be rescued. My friends from school Gita, Maryann and Alicia were also there to great me and see me finish. That was great! Also a family friend Bev came and my friend Shannon's grandma, Mrs. Carlsen, came to great me to! It was pretty cool, but I am exhausted. At least Gita made me cookies and brownies...that was awesome, Gita is the best cook, I love her!

I am really glad I did this, it was really rewarding experience, difficult, but rewarding. I also get to be in Snaps magazine, which is also pretty cool. Enjoy the pictures. The journey is over, but the fight will continue. I am still accepting donations, DONATE

1 Day 2 Go

Whoo!

Stage 11, Hope to Mission, 77km, is done. Nothing to exciting happened today really, it was pretty much really flat and very boring. There was only one big hill, 2km at 11% and I thought a dog was going to eat me on the way up to. It came running out of the bush, and I went from 9km/h to 20km/h in a matter of seconds, thankfully the dog stopped, it did scare me though.

Tomorrow is the last day, tomorrow I will have made it, tomorrow I will be done. I am so close, I can't believe that I will actually make it. Crazy. Well, I don't really have much else for today... My total in donations is now $3,498.01!

Mission almost complete

I need to clean my bike...and my leg

"Manning" Up

They like to make things out of wood here

Stage 10, (yes, we have entered the double digits) Princeton to Hope, 135km. Today's ride went through Manning Park, but I couldn't ride all of it because a lot of it had no shoulder and single lane traffic only. Which probably would have resulted in my death or serious injury if I did ride through those sections. In total, I only rode about 65km today. But I did ride to the top of Allison Summit, 4425 ft. It feels good to be back in the mountains and out of the desert, I feel much more at home and comfortable. The air seems better here, well maybe not in Hope, but it was in Manning Park.

Riding through Manning Park

I am so close to Vancouver, which in turn means I am also really close to Victoria (only a ferry ride away)! Nothing too exciting happened today, other than the shoulder disappearing, it was a pretty solid day. Only 2 days until Victoria...yeah I never thought I would actually get this close. I also didn't think that I would make it over the Salmo-Creston pass, or the Blueberry-Paulson or to Osoyoos but I did. I'm not actually sure how I keep pedaling sometimes, because when I get off the bike for the day I could easily just go to sleep wherever I stop, or as soon as I stop I realize how hot it is and I can't believe that I was riding in that heat, but some how I always keep pedaling.

This sign was very hard to find and get to
