Friends For Life Bike Rally 2010 |
|
On July 25, 2010, 400 courageous individuals will embark on an
incredible journey. For six days, our riders will cycle over 600km from
Toronto to Montreal with the support of a fabulous crew, and in doing
so will raise thousands of dollars for men, women and children living
with HIV and AIDS. The experience promises to have a profound impact on
the lives of each and every participant.
