Ride For Sight 2009Party at RFS '09

Exploring Caledon and Hockley Valley.

Ride For Sight 2009 was a great weekend in Collingwood. Our fellow team GTAM campers made it truly amazing and together our team raised the most funds. Ashley and Adrian raised nearly $600 - thank you so much for helping us help others!

 

 

Every year the Ride For Sight raises funds for the Foundation Fighting Blindness. We're proud to have surpassed our goal and raised over one million dollars this year. Congratulations team GTAMotorcycle.com for raising over $37,000! We rocked!
We've got two videos, one short and sweet, one a little longer, as well as a tonnes of cool pics from a weekend we're glad we didn't miss out on!

Most of Saturday had rain off and on. After very hours sleep, feeling achy, stuff, and damn, Ash and I grumpily went off to explore Collingwood. You can see the change in attitude the second the sun comes out.

See you all next year! If you didn't make it for 2009, be sure to come out for an even better 2010. Finally, a big thank you to all of my sponsors from the Toronto Moto Scooter Club, and my very supportive family members and friends. Your contributions will go a long way! 

The Ride For Sight has raised over 1 million dollars for the Foundation Fighting Blindness every year for nine consecutive years! Thanks to your contributions we raised and donated $600!

Ashley made a return trip to Wasaga, on our little scooter (50cc displacement). You can get to Collingwood and Wasaga even by 50cc scooter easily by avoiding all of the hills on Airport and passing through the towns of Everett and Lisle instead.
