On April 1, 2007, Boy Siojo mentioned about a BIKE FOR LIFE project for the benefit of people afflicted by cancer. I honestly thought that it was a great idea to combine people's love for cycling and their passion to do something about this dreaded disease. This blog aims to share the whole experience... the preparation, the wonderful people we'll meet along the way and the events on each leg.
The Bike for Life Tour 2007 is a journey that will start in Metro Manila and will go all the way to Davao . There will be a core group of riders headed by James Auste, the executive director of the Cancer Warriors Foundation who himself is a cancer survivor. We will be riding together with 10 parents of pediatric cancer patients who are wards of the Cancer Warriors Foundation.
At the end of the day after each leg a forum on cancer awareness will be held with the message that Cancer can be Beaten. The tour is not a race, but you are most welcome to join and ride with us on any of the legs.This is the tentative Itinerary:
SEPT 16 -- Ayala Town Center, Alabang TO BATANGAS CITY
SEPT 17 -- RORO TO CALAPAN, BIKE TO ROXAS OCC.MIN, RORO TO CATICLAN
SEPT 18 -- BIKE TO KALIBO
