Cycle from Vancouver to Calgary for Mental Health

On August 1st I will be departing from Vancouver with the goal of cycling all the way to Calgary. I will be following the Trans-Canada Trail - tenting along the way - with a total distance of about 1700km. My goal is to raise one dollar for every kilometer I pedal. I have decided to raise money in support of Klinic Community Health - a non-profit organization in Winnipeg that focuses on health related services ranging from medical care to counselling and education. Please check out their amazing resources, which even includes supports for stress on the farm for those of you back home - http://klinic.mb.ca/ 

This is a very personal cause for me as I have used Klinic's counselling services in the past during difficult points in my life. The main reason for this fundraiser though, is a childhood friend of mine named Carter Zalluski who passed away suddenly not long ago. I will be making this donation in his memory.
If you are reading this, remember that it's OK to not be OK. Whether you're having a bad day or a good day, remember that people do care about you, you are here for a reason, and the world would not be the same without you.

In the words of the amazing band The Lone Bellow:
"May you be well, You may find joy, You might find pain,
Sorrow and love, But you will remain, May you be well"
