Welcome to the inaugural posting for our team's blogg. We are a cycling team who participate in the MS Bike Tour in Niagara. Last August was our first tour and we had eight team members and raised almost $5000.00. Our membership has almost doubled and we are gearing up for a fantastic ride! Fundraising plans are underway for some group activities although each team member is responsible for raising a minimum of $200. We each have our own reasons for participating and MS effects many of our loved ones. For some of us it is a great opportunity to get in shape and spend a wonderful day together, touring a beautiful part of Ontario. We have a strong contingent of Stratford residents, many of us gather weekly for classes at a yoga collective and go for breakfast afterwards. The other part of our team are associated with the University of Waterloo, current and previous employees (a strong showing from Counselling Servies: yeah!! As Team Captain, I am proud of the growth and interest in the team, in our efforts to raise money and have fun. I am so excited to welcome new team members and hope this will become an annual commitment for us all.
