Ironman accommodation

Attention Ironman supporters, friends, family and cheerleaders alike! If you are planning to come support me during Ironman you need to book your accommodation now. I know it's months away... actually 4 months to the day... but this event takes over the Okanagan this week and trying to find a bed to sleep in just for the weekend is near impossible.

Luckily, I stumbled upon this great B&B that just opened and their reservations are WIDE open. It's a beautiful luxury home on a 10 acre lot with incredible views and incredible rooms. They serve a gourmet breakfast every morning. Get this... not only will they rent just for the weekend, but they are offering 20% off their already reasonable rates because they've just re-opened after renovations.

I've already booked the private suite for my Dad and sister that are coming out from Toronto, but there is still the two private bedrooms in the upper portion of the house. If you are thinking about coming out, please let me know. I'm not posting the name/website of the place in fear that someone I don't know will swoop in and book it :)

If your interested, send me an email and I'll give you the details. I'd love to have you out there and I'd hate you to miss out on coming because accommodation has been so hard to find.
Happy training all!

POWERED BY NOIE

So I have very exciting news today. My best friend Kierstie and I have decided to take part in this years Ride To Conquer Cancer as a way to both honour and remember my Mom together.

The Ride is a two-day epic cycling journey covering 262km's from Vancouver to Seattle June 19-20. This is an annual fundraising event benefitting the BC Cancer Foundation.

Our team, POWERED BY NOIE has committed to raising $5,000 for this worthy cause and this is where you, my friends, family and supporters come into play. We can't do this without you, so please check out our team page or my personal page and make a donation.

Check out this video from last years ride.



My favourite part of this video is the sign on the front lawn that reads "Survivor Lives Here. Thanks". Just another reminder that cancer is everywhere and not everyone is able to participate in something like this. But by participating we are impacting those that are still fighting. By being involved, we can bring hope and inspiration to those still struggling.

"Why do we ride?
Because our sweat is nothing compared to their tears.
Because our challenge is nothing compared to their fight.
Because we are all on one journey.
To conquer cancer."

We can do this. Please make a donation today. Click on the logo below to see my personal fundraising page.
