*** I am bicycling bicycle across NL, from Port aux Basques along the Trans Canada Highway to St. John's! Stay tuned for an itinerary for NL!
I am attempting to be the first person with schizophrenia to bicycle across Canada this summer 2023! I want to show people the disease isn't a death sentence, and to give hope to those suffering with it.
I am raising funds for the Schizophrenia Societies in Canada, and for the Mind Aid nonprofits helping people with mental illness in developing countries. See below to donate!
I have a GoFundMe page to help pay for the trip expenses (food, camping fees, ferry fees). No support vehicle or drivers or hotels, as originally planned.
