Looking for a long ride and support a fundraiser, see below!
The Steppe Up for Ukraine fundraiser ride is in its third year. This year it’s in the form of a casual ride of 122 kilometres
Organizers are asking each rider to raise funds for Help Us Help – the same charity as the 2 previous years. As you may remember in the first year it raised $100,000 and about $80, 000 in the second.
The bullying of Ukraine by Russia continues even though other crises may occupy the daily newsfeed. Ukranian children still are suffering and in need. They are being helped by the ride’s charity Help Us Help. The goal this year is $20,000.
The ride is 122 km and is held this Saturday August 10. It starts and finishes in Beamsville at the same location (London Born Wines) as the Sunflower Festival for Ukranian Relief. So come out and ride or simply donate a few bucks.
