When we arrived in Victoria on the last day of June we had no idea what the almost 8000 km trek across Canada would hold in store. I remember having some doubts&#8230; Could our bodies handle the physical challenge? Would we be able to keep the pace\/schedule? Would we be effective at raising the funds and making people aware of the profound need for clean water? After 58 days, about 50 presentations, 6 TV interviews, several radio and newspaper articles I think the answer is yes&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/cycling4water.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/08\/dsc_8081.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1399\" src=\"http:\/\/cycling4water.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/08\/dsc_8081.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_8081\" width=\"474\" height=\"313\" \/><\/a>Cycling4Water 2014 is finished. The transformation for 29-30 villages that will receive clean disease free water is coming thanks to a lot of people who joined a team of 5 (4 skinny cyclists and a support vehicle driver) to save lives and change the future for 30,000 people in desperate need. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cycling4water.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/08\/img_09141.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1429\" src=\"http:\/\/cycling4water.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/08\/img_09141.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0914[1]\" width=\"474\" height=\"355\" \/><\/a><\/strong><strong>Wow what a great way to celebrate a 60th birthday!
