Trip Across Canada

I am planing to do a Uni trip across Canada (6,344km) to raise money for
a charity called save the children. Kris Holm has agreed to do a
section of Canada with me and i was wondering if any other people wish
to help out.

My Email address is

Thank you,

Matthew Sonberg

Matthew, I'm sure that you could get a lot of Canadians interested in
this ride. However, we need to know more about what to plan to do. When
do you start? What is your time frame? What route are you taking?

I also have a charity event I want to plan, so we should talk about
that too. Feel free to give me an email, my address is below.

I used to work with STC. They are a truly amazing charity and I applaud
what you are doing!
If I wasn't so far away I'd join you for a bit, but alas, I can only
give you my moral support. Good on you Matthew!

Doing a charity ride is a great way to meet people, see some cool stuff
and push yourself beyond what you though physically and mentally
possible. I rode 2000km here in Australia (canberra-melbourne-adelaide)
solo over 28 days to raise money for a kids charity in Afghanistan in my
last university holidays.

Organising a sucessful ride though takes a lot of time and patience.
How do you intend to fund your trip? if you are expecting donations to
cover it all you run the risk of individuals thinking they are funding
your holiday, and not the cause. My ride was self funded, but some
sponsorship from UDC australia and a camping store here in canberra
helped me get kitted out at cost price. That way people were assured
that any money they did donate does straight to the charity, not to my
hip pocket and eccentric adventure.

There is a lot of work in putting on something like this before you
even get on the unicycle to start riding. For me it was acutally a
relief to start riding after so much time invested in chasing down
leads that most of the time left me high and dry. Persistence is the
key to the planning as much as it is in the riding.
Best of luck- if you have any questions pm me

I too am eager to hear more specifics. I would like to do a small run in
the NC area to help some of the Masonic charities.

I'm back in Canada in like 8 days, and I'd be down for joining onto
something part way through, how would you go about doing it? More info
would greatly help us and you.

Yep, I would love to help out or ride a section with you. Need to know
the route though.

I'd be up for part of the Atlantic Region ride.
Sounds like fun.
