Cycling to raise funds and awareness of Aphasia
The Voyageur 200 charity gravel cycling event returns next month.
Officials say on Aug. 16 riders will be put through a rugged and rewarding test of endurance on gravel back roads and trails of Corbeil, Bonfield, Mattawa, North Bay, Callander and everywhere in between.
New for this year is an introductory 30 km course, to welcome riders who are new to gravel.
For more experienced cyclists, there are 60 km, 100 km, and 200 km rides. The event is held in partnership with Discovery Routes, to raise funds and awareness of Aphasia – a language impairment often caused by stroke.
Proceeds are going to the North Bay Regional Health Centre (NBRHC) Foundation.
“Events like this not only raise critical funds but also build awareness and bring our community together in a powerful way,” says Tammy Morison, President & CEO, NBRHC Foundation. “We’re inspired by every rider, volunteer, and donor who pedals with purpose to support exceptional healthcare for our loved ones.”
$8,000 has been raised since the event launched two years ago.
