 At the start of the 2008 Gearup for CF bike ride in Whiterock, BC..Please click here to go to the gearup for CF web site for all the details! This year, cyclists will embark on a 1200km ride over nine days through some grueling terrain including the Rockies, Selkirk and Purcell mountain ranges. GearUp4CF is a fully supported ride with vans and meals and accommodations provided to the riders along the route. Each rider is responsible for raising a minimum of five thousand dollars for the charity event that supports research into cystic fibrosis, a fatal inherited disease that affects one in every 3,600 children born in Canada each year. Money raised through this event will go directly toward research and therapy to improve the lives of those affected by cystic fibrosis. For more information on the route, the riders and how you can sponsor a cyclist, please browse this site or contact the CCFF Chapter Office at 604-436-1158 Donors wishing to use a credit card are requested to log onto: http://www.gearup4cf.org/ for a secure on-line donation form. This web site also lists the riders, their bios, provides information about the trip and about cystic fibrosis. Check the site, during the ride, for regular updates.
