Sonia Cyr and Philippe Pichette, of CCH, will ride on behalf of United Way.

 

 

 

From June 18 to July 7, 2009, they will cross the Alps from North to South passing through Germany, Austria and Italy taking the mythical «Transalp» mountain bike race course. Not only is it a course of more than 628 kilometres it also has 20,863 metres of elevation gain.

 

For this event, Sonia and Philippe are inviting you to participate to a fund-raising campaign for United Way. All donations will be added to those of the company's employees.

 

Three sponsorship plans are available:

·   The «Lance Armstrong» - 1 penny per metre of elevation gain ($208)

·   The «Keep going» - 10 cents per kilometre ($62)

·   The «Biggest loser» - $1 per pound that Philippe loses during the trip ($15)

·   The «Your choice» - Amount you want to give

 

All you have to do is click:  https://donate.unitedway.ca/index.php?WID=Wsherb to enter the amount of the donation corresponding to your sponsorship plan. A receipt will be issued for gifts of $10 or more.

(Please indicate "CCH" in the comment box.)

 

Then, you can follow up on the fund-raising campaign and then their trip by visiting that page in June and July.
