2009 Tour for Kids

It's that time of year again and we are getting ready for the Tour for
Kids. For the past 5 years, I have been lucky to have been involved with
such a great group of organizers and cyclists. Some cyclists ride
upwards of over 200 km per day in support of cancer for kids. The
mission of Tour For Kids is to raise funds for three extraordinary camps
that allow children with cancer to share laughter and build friendships
with other brave kids from across Canada. In just 5 years, Tour For Kids
participants have helped raise $4 million for these local camps.

At the end of their long days cycling, they need support and this is
where we come in. Every year, the riders say we are the best part of the
whole ride, and are incredibly appreciative of the medical team at the
finish of each day.

We are looking for some A.T.'s and R.M.T.'s to help out with this epic
ride throughout Ontario. At the end of the day, we would be required to
massage and treat the riders as required. We usually start at about 3:30
and work till about 9ish. You will be fed very well and have breaks as
required.

The dates and locations are as follows:

Day1: Thursday August 20th Trent University in Peterborough
Day 2: Friday August 21st Trent University in Peterborough
Day 3: Saturday August 22nd Camp White Pine, Haliburton
Day 4: Sunday August 23rd Bruce's Mill Conservation Area Trails,
Richmond Hill

Pay: $150 per day

You can do 1,2, 3 or all 4 days, depending how much you would like to
do. If you are doing more than one, accommodations are provided. You can
drive your own vehicle, or there should be enough to be able to transfer
you from location to location. If you live close to one of these stops
you are more than welcome to do just one day, the riders would
appreciate any and all help possible.

If you are interested in helping out, or would just some more
information, please let me know ASAP, as we only have 6 weeks to get
everybody organized.
