This June, Luke Galvani and Sam Wade are participating in the three B.C. Money Mart Easter Seals 24 Hour Relay’s this June; Vancouver Island at the UVIC Centennial Stadium; June 2-3, in the Okanagan at the Apple Bowl in Kelowna; June 9-10, and in Vancouver at Swangard Stadium: June 16-17.

History

Easter Seals on Wheels was created in November 2010 by Sam Wade and Brian Tong. It involved the chance of a lifetime, cycling down the pacific west coast of North America, from Vancouver, BC, to Tijuana, Mexico. Starting on April 30th, 2011, this 3000km ride consisted of traveling through the states of Washington, Oregon, and California. This was a fundraising initiative for BC Easter Seals Camps. By the end of this journey, Sam, and Brian raised over $8000 for this amazing organization which makes such a difference in our community.

Who are the participants:

Also, they are looking for 150 team supporters at each event, to make them the biggest team out there! By being a team supporter they ask that you share this website and their FundRazr page with your friends and family to help them raise awareness. You’ll be able to run a few laps with Sam and Luke as well... if you feel so inclined. This is going to be a physically draining trek, Sam and Luke will be switching off in shifts every two hours for each relay, and could really use your moral support!
