We had 109
riders/passengers registered and we raised
over $7400. That brings the
five year total you've helped us raise for
breast cancer research to over $113,400 !
While it
rained on and off again during registration at VI Honda, there was enough
hot coffee and muffins to keep everyone happy while they were looking over
the vendors wares that were for sale. The prizes for pre-registration and
the door prizes for donations were a big hit. Dave Hamilton of C2C
photography was everywhere all at the same time it seemed, taking photos of
you, your bikes, your passengers, the members of A Breast of Life Dragon
Boat Team as they held up their paddles to send us off. The rain held off
on the ride to the Air Park in Courtenay where we were first greeted with
bottled water handed out by Kim Jackson and George Reid of Coldwell Banker
and shortly after given coffee and hotdogs donated through the Park Café and
their suppliers. The cake from Thrifty Foods was as incredible to see as it
was to eat! They used the same logo as the 2008 pin and printed it on to the
cake!!
We want to
offer our sincerest thanks to everyone who helped pull this together.
