Alex Cairns Rides for Rotary

Posted by Elizabeth Scott

Alex Cairns, accompanied by Ian Davis, rides by on Mamquam Road during the Celebrity Challenge Saturday on his way to the finish line at the top of Perth. Once there, he was awarded a cheque for $5,000 for a sit ski from the Club 200 fund. Alex raised $1,700 for the Linda Carney Rotary Cares Fund by going door to door collecting pledges. We support you, Alex!

We had 20 riders this year, and we raised between $14 and $15,000. First up the hill was Patrick McEachran and Trevor Halvorson riding a tandem bike. Ana Santos was the first female. Alex Cairns rode a regular bike and made it all the way. We had some very generous sponsors who donated door prizes: Nesters, Save-on-foods, Starbucks, London Drugs, Howe Sound Inn, Special FX hair and esthetics, Gardner GM. There were home-made cookies at the finish line and Bruce's cookies were a hit once again.
