Who new this fluke one year ago would lead to my involvment with Marcel's Journey?
Close to a year ago (Aug 28/10) I noticed something strange in my neighbourhood. I saw some temporary fencing going up at the Roundabout. Later when I was home, I read on twitter that Lance Armstrong was in town so I put 2&2 together and figured the RIDE WITH LANCE would be coming through. I grabbed my trusty FlipCam & was able to catch a glimpse
Flash forward almost one year later. I receive a tweet from someone asking if I would like to be involved in a fundraising effort in Kitchener-Waterloo for the Grand River Cancer Centre. Of course this peaked my interest & suggested we should meet for coffee.
One day later I'm having coffee with
Trish,
Meghan & JoAnne.
They tell me all about
Marcel's Journey . Trish explained that she is Meghan best friend & she was the one that contacted me on twitter. Marcel is Meghan's Father & JoAnne's husband. Marcel is a cancer survivor wanting to give back to the Grand River Cancer Center through the
RIDE WITH LANCE . His goal is to be the TOP FUNDRAISER & earn the chance to wear the covented Yellow Jersey during the ride.
In order to make this happen they have hosted several
Fundraising events all over Waterloo Region, and wanted to create an orginal event in the area to make Marcel's dream a reality.
