TOP TEN REASONS TO RIDE!

 

 Join us on Sunday, June 3, 2012 for the 3rd Annual Cycle for Sight (CFS) and be part of Canada’s only cycling fundraiser in support of sight-saving research!

WHAT IS CYCLE FOR SIGHT?

Cycle for Sight is a one day cycling event that takes you on a ride through Ottawa’s beautiful countryside from Manotick to Kemptville and Merrickville, with 2 distance options to choose from 60 km / 100 km. This athletic fundraiser is designed with a winning formula in mind; empowering those who are visually impaired, bringing together the cycling community and supporting a great cause.

WHO WE SUPPORT?

Cycle for Sight supports The Foundation Fighting Blindness, Canada’s leading charity funding vision research. Dollars raised through our event help fund groundbreaking research at hospitals and universities across Canada to find treatments and cures for eye diseases that cause blindness.

 

Did you know? Over one million Canadians – from children to seniors – have vision loss due to retinal eye diseases, like retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and macular degeneration (AMD). This number is expected to double in the next 25 years.

Get your gears in motion and

 

                     be part of a vision worth riding for!
