Welcome to Eskimo Country & The Monster Boys


Today we were welcomed in Eskimo fashion at the Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton. We were greeted by Dave the Communications coordinator, and Rick LeLacheur (President and CEO of the Edmonton Eskimos).
 Upon arrival there was a series of interviews talking about the Chase with reports from Global, CTV, Edmonton Sun, and Metro News. All of the reporters were extremely professional and fun to work with! Following this I took my bike for a lap around Commonwealth stadium.
 
The Eskimos donated an autographed helmet which will be auctioned off to help in the fight against cancer, as well made a generous donation to the 'Chase'.


Today showed yet again that even though CFL teams compete against each other for the Grey Cup, there is truly only one team when it comes to fighting cancer, and that team involves all Canadians coast to coast.

This afternoon we retreated to a group of men called the 'Monster Boys' whom we had met the night previous. They absolutely blew us away with their generosity, great humor, and big hearts. This morning they called us, and told us we must return to see them again, as they wanted to make a generous donation, cook us a meal, and fill us with gas! We were met by their entire crew who were working in West Edmonton Mall building retail stores, and even heard of them working down south at Simon Cowell's vacation home!!!! 

Well, we excitedly accepted their offer and they did not disappoint in any manner. Below, is a picture of the supper we ate (stuffed potatoes, steak and delicious rice.... let me tell you I don't normally enjoy steak but man this steak was absolutely delicious)!!!
 

As we ate, the manager revealed to us that he had contacted his friends in Newfoundland to take care of us when we arrive there. They also gave us wonderful advice in saying creating memories is one of the most important things a person can do, and they were so grateful for being able to create memories with us!!! My hat tips to these men as they are truly difference makers in the fight against cancer and truly class acts!!!! 

We now look east to the Saskatchewan border as we travel out of Edmonton tomorrow morning with our new motoring man... Mr. Scott Fossay!!!! 

All have a fantastic night! Even a better day tomorrow. Goodnight from the C-Bus!

Day of Difficulties


Even though Edmonton is only 154km away from Red Deer today was a day composed of difficulties! I woke up late due to sleeping near a road in which motorcycles/large trucks felt it necessary to rev their engines as loud as possible in neighborhoods. I proceeded with yet another groggy morning, and not wanting to get out of bed period! Finally I pulled everything together and got right on the road while my support vehicle sorted some issues out. 

As I was traveling around 70km outside of Edmonton I realized that I was out of water. I figured I would stop at the nearest gas station pick up some water, and a power bar since I had ate my last one on me! I reached into my back pocket to snag my debit card and soon realized that this debit card was on my bed. I deiced to call the 'team' and ask them how sorting out things went, and where they were. It turns out they hadn't finished what they needed and were leaving in 25 minutes, so it would be nearly a hour and half before I saw them. I thought well I will continue to bike and stop at a restaurant or coffee shop and fill up my water. Well 10km later I heard the air leak out of my tire...... Now I had another issue on my hand than lacking water. Not near anywhere to get water I quickly went at changing the tire. I somehow managed to form and pop a blister on my hand while doing this, and get extremely dirty. Finally I pieced it together and was on my way. I soon realized though that Leduc was the nearest area to stop and get water which happened to be 30km away still. 

I mounted my bike and was on my way... destination for water! I moved quickly in hope of vanishing a thirst I had. I moved underneath a over pass and pop went my back tire again...... I looked at the tire quickly and saw that a staple had precariously found its way directly into my back tire.... frustrated and tubeless I phoned support and found that they were still around a half hour behind me. I waited this one out on the side of the road, and have a sunburn on a area on my legs I missed with sunscreen to show for it. 

Upon their arrival I raided the RV for food and water, and grabbed my spare bike as I did not want to switch another tube into the back tire for a second time today. From there I cruised down the road to find a photographer for the Edmonton Sun who has saw the RV and stopped to take some pictures as we moved into Edmonton. This absolutely brightened my day, as she was a delight to talk to and it was neat to see someone intrigued by the Chase enough to stop!!!! I thank her for lifting my spirits today!!!!!!!! 

That is all for now but Welcome to Edmonton

Even Though Creston is Not on Route they are Difference Makers



I have to admit the 5:30am alarm this morning came far too quick. I groggily pulled myself out of my bed and went at packing and organizing and eating some breakfast. I read an email from my friend Shauna who informed me her high school, Prince Charles Secondary in Creston, BC, (not even on route) had done a fundraiser to benefit the Chase in British Columbia. Ms. Popoff the principal of PCS created a get out of school for a dollar, and all funds raised went toward Chase the Cure. Overall they raised $330.00 and truly made a difference in the fight against cancer! I thank all that were involved in this event as it will truly help many in British Columbia! This event absolutely blew me away and I am so thankful that the Chase is reaching people outside of the route!!!!



The morning was great and full of sunshine. I decided I would take the longer/road less travelled to Red Deer. I headed west to begin my morning with the mountains in the background and the conditions were perfect! That is, until a silver Porche Cayenne sped out and went to clear a stop sign without looking.


It just happened was in between them and the sign and swerved quickly out of the way as the driver came back to reality and slammed on his brakes for a close call. This occurred on Old Banff Coach Road and if the driver ever reads this I hope you make a sizable donation to Chase the Cure! Luckily I was aware and escaped, seeing the other lane was completely empty and was able to use it to my advantage to get a safe amount away!

The rest of the ride went absolutely smoothly, I travelled into Cochrane AB and out on the 22 towards Sundre. Along the ride there were a lot of rolling hills, and horses in fields. I rode past some cowboys on their bikes and they were completely confused as to how I ended up getting where I was! Through the whole ride toward Sundre, I could see the beautiful Rockies in the distance and the beautiful prairies beside me. For the first day of riding in the prairies I really enjoyed myself!!!!!! We travelled a total of 200km today into Red Deer and are looking at heading into Edmonton tomorrow :)

That is all for now and I hope everyone has a fantastic night!!!

WELCOME TO CALGARY!!!!!


The Calgary Stampeders Joined the 'Chase' to end cancer today at McMahon Stadium! When I arrived at the stadium, the Chase was greeted by a pile of stampeder staff, and smiling generous faces. I actually had to ride through a tunnel of Outrider Cheerleaders' pom poms who were extremely excited about the Chase and I thank them for that!


Burke Dales (#16) and Wes Lysack (#31) came out wearing their jerseys and supported the Chase. They were extremely engaging and friendly players who wanted to make a difference and I thank them for offering their time out of their schedule to come down to welcome Chase the Cure to Calgary. Mitch, Mike, Stefan, Melenee and their team from the Stampeders office had set everything out very professionally and coordinated the event very well. They fed a hungry Chase crew, with an absolute delicious meal and went above and beyond what was asked in true champion format. Not only did they make a successful event, they were extremely generous as staff, and made an even more generous donation as an organization. Special to thanks to Ted Hellard who also matched the team's donation, and Stan Schwartz who came out to this event. I would also like to thank Scott Ackles and members of the Stampeder Staff who made this a memorable and successful part of the 'Chase' and truly making a difference in the fight against cancer!

I had a total of six interviews today which will find their way throughout Calgary! So Calgary keep your eyes posted. I thank all the media for coming out to this event and wanting to make Chase the Cure as large as possible.
It is great to see teams able to be competitive within the CFL but also recognize that cancer is a disease which effects everyone in some way, and together we can make a difference..... To end off the Stampeders organization is a class act in the CFL and they proved this today! I will ride with their encouragement into their rivals' city in Edmonton, but in the meantime...
GO STAMPS GO!!!!!!!!!

Together We Ride!!!!


As I always love to say "Together We Ride". This is because I know that while I am riding my bike across Canada to end cancer there are many that continue to inspire me, and others to make a difference. This is shown right here, Jesse Marques and Larry Franz from St. Paul's High School turning the wheels with Wes Day on May. 21st. Together Larry Franz, 14 student riders, and the student body of St. Paul's High School raised an outstanding $4000.00 for the Winnipeg Region to fight back against Cancer. These difference makers need to be commended on their hard work, and I am sure that they will inspire many to make a difference in the fight against cancer! I thank all who were involved in this ride!!!

Chase the Cure Rolls into Calgary

New Chase the Cure Video! Enjoy :) 



Today was a different day I can say at the least! We drove out to Banff to meet Sid from TSN, and problems occurred right away! Before starting the shoot, I realized a part was missing from my bike, so we completed the portrait shots in a gorgeous area just outside of Banff. I must say that Sid was amazing at working with the scenery, framing to create an unbelievable shot every time. From there we went and got the part that was needed from Doug at Magic Mountain in Banff who generously gave me the part for free as his donation! We were on the road biking into a strong headwind! Just after crossing out of the Banff Provincial Park, my back tire popped. We sat at a standstill and Sid filmed while I changed my tire. Once it was fixed, I hoped on my bike and went into Canmore for a washroom break! I walked out of the doors after a break to rain and stronger headwinds, and unable to find Sid or Ashley in the support vehicle but continued to bike! I biked frustrated by the headwinds for around a half hour before Sid came past me and set up another shot! 


Through all the frustration I managed to meet an amazing human being, in Sid from TSN, he was a wonderful character who seemed just as devoted to Chase the Cure as many are and I thank him for that! 


I came home tonight to meet a young man by the name of Tyler Remington (above) who is truly a difference-maker in the fight against cancer. He made an extremely generous contribution to Chase the Cure in Alberta to help those who are currently fighting in this province.


I also found out that two friends of mine Sid and Robin had stopped by the house and decided to ride with us (as you can see below Robin is Riding in style) 




I thank Robin and Sid for their extremely generous donation, and I want them to know that their money will make a difference in the fight against cancer!!! I thank these individuals for starting off the Chase the Cure Alberta campaign so successfully and I encourage others to join and make a difference in the fight against cancer by chasing the cure as these individuals have. 


That is all for now! Much Love and Goodnight :)

Alberta Bound!!!!!!



I was going to write a blog last night yet when I nestled up in my fantastic fleece blanket with the computers on my belly, I realized that there was no internet connection. So I shall fill you in on the last two days!

I started out early at Sicamous BC (The above picture is from the D'Dutchman Dairy which contains the best chocolate milk in the world), even though the original plan would put me a day ahead it was to try and get up and over Rogers Pass to Golden 210km before the weekend. The rational behind this is it can be a dangerous bike ride through tunnels with traffic during the weekends. I have to admit this decision was a fantastic one! There were no side areas a cyclist could walk their bike
e past the tunnels and the only solution was to go directly through. It is a crazy feeling going through these tunnels completely dark and
 the angry engines of semi's echoing off the walls. 
I must admit the going was not easy through this area, but I was continually inspired throughout my morning by St. Paul's High School and their dedication to the 'Chase' from the day, I know without this inspiration I would of not reached Golden this day! Going down Rogers Pass was a wonderful delight of speed, I reached a max speed of 90 km/hr which was a complete rush but a nice rest! From there my brother hopped on a bike and we rode the remainder 60kms into Golden. 

Once we reached Golden we pulled up to a gas station completely exhausted. We watched the semis blow by, and those come in an
d fuel up! A beautiful Harley strolled in and filled up, with a man riding it named Dave. He came up to us and we talked. Ironically enough he had family members effected by the exact same cancer as my father and generously made a hundred dollar donation for Alberta!!!!! I cannot thank him enough as he rejuvenated my tired body. I had to physically get on my bike and spend time thinking about this and travelled over Kicking Horse Mountain Pass. I cruised into Field BC on how Dave's generosity and his story. This ended up a being a 275km day all because of those who have decided to participate in the 'Chase'. There is a picture of Dave and I below . 
I woke up this morning a little bit later in gorgeous Field BC!!!! My brother decided he would bike the 30km to Lake Louise and cross the provincial border with me, I have to admit it was greatly appreciated. Yet before we got there we found this really amazing bridge which we stopped at you can see below Brodie is sitting on it! 
The border was reached and I became overwhelmed with a feeling of gratitude of the generous people we have met in British Columbia! I encourage them to continue to donate and Chase the Cure as it is never really over until we find a cure to this terrible disease! 

We arrived at Lake Louise after a gorgeous weather ride and stopped and had a bite to eat and I continued on my way. Meanwhile Brodie and Ashley ventured Lake Louise and met a fantastic woman named Kelli at a bookstore who took a bunch of Chase the Cure brochures and posters. She was absolutely excited about the ride and wanted to make a difference in the fight against cancer through donations ! I thank her for this and encourage others to make a difference like Kelli! I cruised one of the most gorgeous roads I have ever rode traveling on the Bow Valley Parkway into Banff. Overall it was a fantastic day! We will spend the next few days prepping our Calgary stop and expect to roll into Calgary on the 25th of May and stay for a few days!! That is all for now! 

If you enjoyed the blog click here to make a donation that WILL make a difference in the fight against cancer.  

Have a wonderful night :)

The day Wes wasn't biking alone...

Today was an incredible day. I biked through the beautiful mountains from Kelowna, BC to Sicamous, BC; but I wasn't the only one biking. There were 15 people riding with me.

St. Paul's High School in Winnipeg, MB decided today was the day they were "Turning the Wheels with Wes". What started as an idea for a small fundraiser turned into something huge. From 8 a.m. (before many students were even arriving at the school) until 3:30 p.m. (when most of the kids were leaving) Larry Franz, the organizer and teacher, along with 14 students he rounded up, biked in half hour sessions for the entire day.


In order to ride, students were expected to raise pledges for Chase the Cure, but Mr. Franz and his gang didn't stop there. They also had a loonie jar for donations, so that passersby could drop a small donation at the riding site. A donation got them a ticket voucher which entered them to win a variety of donated Chase the Cure-related prizes. People were so generous, that many didn't leave just a loonie, and the jar was filled with almost $300 by the end of the day!! Plus, they sold t-shirts for us, too!! As if that wasn't enough, they played our TSN clip at the riding site the entire day, and gave us a lot of exposure.

Mr. Franz, his riders, and the many other generous people who contributed at St. Paul's today managed to raise over $3700 for the cause, and for that I am incredibly grateful. However, as awesome as their efforts were, and as generous at everyone at St. Paul's was today, I was even more affected by the personal lives they touched through their ride with their "Chase the Cure cards". Mr. Franz encouraged people coming by to write the name of a loved one who was/is being affected by cancer. The wall was plastered with cards and my heart goes out to all of you who had the strength to make your pain public. You are the reason we are doing this ride.

Thanks again to everyone at St. Paul's and everywhere else along the way who has shown this ride their amazing support. You know who you are, and we couldn't do this without you!

I'm blown away. More and more every day, I see how many people are riding along with me. I proudly say...

Together We Ride.

Wonderful day and Wonderful Stay in Kelowna


Today was most definitely a day to remember I woke up this morning and Ashley managed to whip up a pile of interviews for me today as I was speaking at a school. In total there were seven interviews conducted all before 1:30pm before we spoke about Chase the Cure at AS Matheson. When I arrived at AS Matheson I was met by a former professor and now proud to say friend of mine Shona who arrived with smiles as she has followed the progress of Chase the Cure from the very beginnings. Her daughter and son Paige and Mason for the previous two days set up a lemonade stand in support of Chase the Cure, and raised over $43 dollars. They are truly difference makers in the fight against Cancer! 
Great friends of mine Ryan, Jen, Connie, and Sarah came out to see what this presentation consisted of and I thank them for their support. While speaking at the school the students turned out some phenomenal questions, and created an event called Toonies for Two Weeks, encouraging the kids to bring in donations of two dollars as often as they can for two weeks to make a difference in the fight against cancer! These kids are a complete inspiration to this ride and will be fantastic leaders of tomorrow. Special thanks to Scott Sieben and his staff, as well as Shona Harrison for setting up this great day :) Also thank you to Brodie and Ashley for helping organize and set up this event to inspire these children of AS Matheson! 


The Pendleton family is one of a kind. They completely opened their doors to us for multiple days and really made a huge difference in our stay in Kelowna. Their generous actions in both donations and housing, and heartwarming smiles, brought a completely enjoyable stay in Kelowna. I cannot ever thank them enough for all that they have done for the Chase the Cure, and really have made a difference by allowing us to stay with them! They are truly difference makers in the fight against cancer as they were as equally excited about Chase the Cure gaining coverage in Kelowna as we were. I will most definitely carry their passion for life, kindness, and generosity along with me in this ride as we travel coast to coast! 

Before I left I was given a card from close friends in Kelowna whom not only took time out of busy schedules to see me on numerous occasions but also donated their own money to the Chase. I thank my friends for being extremely generous and being difference makers in the fight against cancer! I cannot wait to see all of you again and wish all of you a wonderful summer :) 

I thank all of those who came out and interviewed Chase the Cure today as you truly made a difference in encouraging Canadians to stand up and make a difference in the fight against cancer! Keep making a difference Kelowna and we will find a cure to this disease! 

I look forward to see what the cities on route to Calgary have to offer the 'Chase' 

That is all for now have a great night :)

A Day in Kelowna!


Today we woke up to a delicious breakfast made for us by the Pendleton family (We really do love this family). From there we headed off into Kelowna to get brochures out on the city!!!! We moved towards the mall hoping that we would be able to set up a booth within or just outside the mall as it was a gorgeous day. Being unsuccessful at this we decided to place brochures in the windshield wipers of cars. Halfway through though we had a guilt come over us........ we thought about how we felt when these brochures were in our wipers and we drove away. We decided it was in our best interest to stop, and go and work on the AS Matheson Elementary School presentation we will be making on Wednesday!!!!! I was extremely pleased to see some of my old friends from the University of British Columbia today and chat with them for a while. 



After finishing up working on Chase the Cure at a coffee shop all day we decided to go buy groceries and head up Knox Mountain in our RV because apparently we can do that with the RV haha. We spent our night over looking Lake Okanagan (what we saw is above) and eating a delicious meal (below). Things became more interesting when we got kicked out of the park since it was closing time, and we had to drive the RV down a series of switchbacks, to get to the bottom.... I personally thought I would be wearing this delicious meal. We somehow managed to hold a pile of plates, our glasses and the extra rice and salad bowls,

All is well and Goodnight for now and sleep well :)

Early Morning Risers: Merritt To Kelowna!!!

Today the day started off too early in my opinion! The alarm sounded at 5:30am and I felt like I had just hit the right crack on my bed to have a restful sleep. I lazed around for a few minutes before I decided to assemble my things and have a delicious breakfast of yogurt and granola, and a bagel with jam and peanut butter. Following this I hopped on my bike and ascended directly out of the town of Merritt. There were numerous climbs on the 150km route towards Kelowna. A little larger struggle came when a headwind, combined with the hills made the going difficult. At 40kms in, after a hill climb my back tire tube had blown. I assembled my things on the side of the road and began to work on getting a spare in place, ironic as the day before I had helped a older couple change their tire on their car. I finally managed to pull myself back on to the road, and continue on my way to Kelowna. 


Once the RV arrived, my brother decided he wanted to bike the last 60km with me, lucky for him that, there was one more large uphill, to be followed by 25km of straight downhill! We reached a max speed of 75km/hr but had a headwind holding us back from going faster. Even more delightful the temperature was reaching 25 degrees Celsius.The scenery going down was absolutely stunning, beautiful mountains dropping down towards the valley which is something that most definitely needs to be seen!!!! We arrived in Kelowna and were greeting by a friends of mine, one generous one in particular who is allowing us to situate ourselves within their home :). Special thanks to the Pendleton's. It is late here and I am absolutely exhausted so I shall be off to bed for now!! We will be spending the next few days in Kelowna as we are ahead of schedule and look forward to what Kelowna has to offer in the "Chase"

Losing and Finding Myself (Day 2)

Today was a big day. I woke up at 5am, and began riding in a brisk morning out of Abbotsford, BC. Everything seemed to be going well until I hit my least favorite sign on the road - the no biking sign.

I was forced quickly to address the situation and follow a bike route that led me onto country roads. I followed these roads, but it turned out one of the biking signs was not present at an important location. I traveled back and forth trying to find the route for about an hour. After a while I decided to go over an over pass and and took the first road I found.

I was met by a woman running alongside her husband's bike. I stopped to ask them for directions back to the Trans-Canada Highway. After his directions had me walking through a marsh, I stumbled across a bus driver and asked him for directions. He gave some pretty thorough directions and set off to pick up his students. As it turned off, they also led me slightly astray. An hour later, a pedestrian gave me directions that successfully led me to the Trans-Canada Highway.

Following this, I traveled to hope where I met up with the support vehicle and had some lunch and a power nap :). From there, I traveled up and over one of the most intimidating passes on route to Calgary - the Coquihalla. It reaches 1,244 m and has some fairly steep climbing grades!! Overall, everything went pretty smoothly and I arrived at the top.

On the way down the Coquihalla, I came across an older couple on an uphill climb who had completely blown out their car's back tire. I got off my bike, helped them jack the car and chatted while we changed the tire. After hearing what I was doing, they generously donated $105 dollars to Chase the Cure to benefit BC!!!! I was extremely appreciative of them doing this.

My journey ended with me getting chased by three German Shepherds and another bumblebee "situation" - this time in my ear. I have a feeling this recurring bumblebee theme will not be ending any time soon :). I'll keep you posted.

Overall, today was just as fulfilling as yesterday. I'm continually touched by the generosity of the amazing everyday people around me.

Inspiring Beginning


Today we launched from Steve Fonyo Beach in Victoria. I must say that there are many stories I could tell from just one day. I will share a few that stick out for me. 

The first is about two individuals named Chris and Linda, who came down to Victoria's Mile 0 to see the launch. Linda is a breast cancer survivor and one of the kindest ladies I have met. These two individuals absolutely made my day. Linda's  bravery in bearing this disease is something I greatly look up to, and now I will carry it with me as inspiration. Her smile showed that she seemed to appreciate every moment and I only hope I can match this appreciation for life. 

Chris is a man who I felt truly carries the same passion as I do when it comes to cancer. He is extremely ambitious and motivating. I know both these individuals will make a huge difference in the fight against cancer, and I know both of them will continue to ride in my heart all the way to St. John's and for the rest of my life :). I know that they will encourage others that they are truly Never Alone in their battles. 


A man from TSN named Pat showed up in style today fully embracing Chase the Cure.  The day before he showed excitement in the Chase as he contacted Chase the Cure, and told us that he would not only be there before us in the morning but he also wanted to gain footage of the ride to the ferry terminal, and come on the ferry with us!!! 

Throughout the day he filled the air with jokes and knowledge he had gained from shooting Rick Hansen around the world. Pat was someone who was fully dedicated to his job and getting great footage! He shot from all different angles out of the car! Even had his driver (Ashley) drive at an appropriate speed so he could sit in the back of the van with the trunk open filming out of it. I would be lying if I said this was my favorite thing about Pat. He gave great advice, had an awesome sense of humour, and overall he was just a phenomenal person dedicated to making a difference in the Chase! 

There were so many highlights from today and I most definitely only shared a few here, others include, Gord from CHEK TV coming down to Mile 0 and doing a great interview, and telling me he needed the "money shots" which was dipping the wheels into the Pacific. 

Another highlight was the first person who arrived at Mile 0 this morning. Candace, a friend of mine, came out to see me leave Victoria. That was an absolute delight!!!!! 

I do have to admit that I did have an extremely scary moment today where my life flashed before my eyes. I was biking and felt everything was going great. I had my mouth open a little so I could breathe and I was looking around at the scenery around me. I brought my focus back to the road and WHAM!!!!!! Right into my mouth flew a delicious bumble bee!!!! Scared out of my mind I immediately blew the bee out of my mouth and hoped that it set sail away from me!! :)

I would like to say thank you to the Victoria community and encourage them to continue to Chase the Cure and make a difference in the fight against cancer. Tonight I will sleep in Abbotsford, and wake up in the morning and travel to Hope on route to Kelowna!!!! Hope to see everyone on the road. I encourage you to continue to make a difference! Good night for now. :)

Chase the Cure Begins Tomorrow


Mile 0, marks many symbolic beginnings. Where Terry Fox was supposed to finish his journey, yet in my mind completed his journey. As he completed his goal of inspiring many across Cancer. It marks the beginning of Canada going from West to East. It marks the beginning of Chase the Cure. 

Tomorrow is the first leg of Chase the Cure, I will take my bike down to the water and dip the back wheel into the Pacific Ocean, and begin to travel coast to coast. I have a variety of feelings going through my body right now, excitement, concerned, and not knowing what to expect. Yet there is a overwhelming calm in myself, as I am completely and solely focused on making a difference in Victoria and encouraging Canadians here to make a difference. 

I hope you will continue to follow and tell others about the "Chase" to end cancer, and we will accomplish miracles.

Winnipeg Launch at Earls Polo Park

Here are some pictures from our launch in Winnipeg Enjoy. To find more pictures please click this link :)  http://www.flickr.com/photos/chasethecure/show/with/3505794003/
