Cyclebetes - Scouters for a Cure 2010 Team

Scouters for a Cure (l-r) Glen, Larry, Ron, Nancy, Ron, Larry, David

Shortly after 9am Sunday morning with the rain coming down light and steady the 7 of us headed out on our 50km adventure to help raise awareness and $ for Diabetes Research.

Despite the rain, we all had a great ride, though Nancy at times felt left behind by the ‘pack’ =o)

We really had a great ride, and made all the better by the great friends that joined us on our journey.

Here’s a few photos from our day on Facebook.

Can’t wait to do it again next year!

2009 Telus JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes

The Boyds' at the JDRF Walk 2009What an awesome day for the walk this year! We got ourselves up ready and off, arriving at Streetsville Memorial Park around 8:30am. Shortly after our arrival we realized we forgot all our pledges!!!!! Luckily, they have the online numbers at the registration desks and we were able to send in the rest after the walk!

Very cool.. I mentioned to one of the staff that it would be nice to be able to purchase t-shirts for those that don’t get over the $100 in pledges.. eg. Aaron. Well he said “Just a minute,” and went and found one just the perfect size for him! You should have seen the smile, getting his own Walk Shirt!

Christopher also lucked out, they’d run out of his prize (> $250 received a jacket) so he was bumped up to a back pack! No one at his school has one like that now! lol (more…)
