Thank you to Team Cyclepaths!
Cycle of Life Tour
July 19-20th 2025

It was an incredible weekend of legs a’pumping, good spirits, and over 420k raised for the island(s) hospices! Our amazing team itself raised over 72k (and counting as few things still coming in) which is simply incredible. With many new riders and the fantastic team captain Raida, there was much enthusiasm and a whole lot of heart (beating very quickly on some of those hills!). And the mighty Keith Pistel of Canadian Tire hauled in over 17k!\

This event is what keeps CVHS thriving and we are so very grateful for all the hard work with the fundraising leading up to the event with Raida and Christy Woods (also Cnd Tire) doing so much of the leg work. Also, a shout out to Amber Aleksich (team rider and community nurse) who volunteers with COLT in addition to the efforts with our team. It always goes so smoothly because of the hours and hours of planning and commitment leading up to 2 days of boundless energy.
