Support BC Fire Fighters and First Responder Resiliency!
This year, John C, Matt G, Craig S and Isaiah S from Burnaby Firefighters L323 are aiming to raise $5,000 for the Blueprint Loon Lake resiliency retreat. They'll cycle one calorie for every dollar pledged - that's up to 5-6 hours on the bike!

Every dollar raised supports BC fire fighters via the Blueprint First Responders Resiliency Program @ Loon Lake.

The boys in Burnaby will ride all the dollars they raise on Dec. 6th — help them hit their target!
