Great Cycle Challenge 2022

Pacific Northwest Outdoor Association (PNOA) organized a team (PNOA GCC Team) to participate in 2022 Great Cycle Challenge to raise funds for SickKids Foundation to help fund children’s health research and children’s cancer treatment. Refer to this link for the details of the challenge: https://greatcyclechallenge.ca/Pages/About/the-cause/about-the-challenge

The team set up two goals: to ride 2000 KM, and to raise $2500 for SickKids Foundation in the month of August 2022.

By August 31st, 2022, we rode 2228 KM and raised $5759. Refer to this link for our team’s challenge results: https://greatcyclechallenge.ca/Teams/PNWOAGCCTeam

This was a very successful team event. PNOA GCC Team included 10 members. Among them, 8 participated in this event for the first time, and 3 were occasional riders with minimum cycling experience. A series of group riding activities have also accomplished PNOA’s mission by promoting road cycling safety while enjoying the outdoor cycling experience.

Our story has been also highlighted in FMCBC E-news September 2022 (cyberimpact.com).

    PNOA 团队奋力骑行,征服 2025 年加拿大Great Cycle Challenge!

    当夏日的风拂过太平洋西北地区的山林,有一支队伍正在为生命奋力骑行。今天,我们怀着无比自豪的心情,分享太平洋西北户外协会(PNOA)在2025年加拿大”Great Cycle Challenge”中取得的骄人成绩——这不仅是数字的突破,更是爱心的接力,是17颗炽热之心为抗击儿童癌症共同谱写的动人篇章。 超越预期:里程碑式骑行 从第一天起,PNOA 团队就设定了雄心勃勃的目标,通过 SickKids 基金会为希望与治愈注入动力。我们的筹款目标?5,000 加元。我们实现了什么?高达8,694.59 加元的筹款额——几乎是目标的两倍!每一元善款都通过SickKids基金会直接用于儿童癌症的创新治疗和治愈,支持这样一个令人心碎的现实:在加拿大,癌症夺走了比任何其他疾病更多的年轻生命,每年有超过 1,700 名儿童被诊断出患病。 在骑行方面,我们集体目标是5,000 公里。团队以223 次激动人心的骑行、7,746 公里的总里程远远超越目标,骑行总里程意味着我们足以从温哥华骑行往返多伦多整整两个来回!在全国范围内,我们排名所有队伍的第 51 位,领先数百支团队,并在与我们同类别的队伍中排名第22位,展现了PNOA的坚韧与社区精神。 聚光灯下的明星骑手 让这项挑战真正特别的是数据背后的故事。6名首次参加这个活动的新人们给我们的队伍带来了新鲜的活力,包括杰出人物如Laura,她征服了448.8 公里并筹集了547 加元,以及Lisa,她奋力骑行538.9 公里,带来了673 加元的善款。这些新人全力投入,激励着我们所有人。 鼓舞人心的少年勇士: GCC的宗旨是为孩子们而战,而我们最年轻的成员展现了惊人的毅力。让我们为6岁的Avi热烈鼓掌,他骑行了惊人的326.5公里并筹得880加元;同样为8岁的Zoe喝彩,她奋力完成了609.7公里的骑行,也筹得了880加元。他们的小轮子转动着大梦想,他们用行动证明:关爱无年龄之分,善举从小开始!他们是激励我们所有人的榜样! 对于耐力王者,Douglas Qi以2,345 公里的最长骑行加冕冠军——这是对坚定承诺的证明。同时,Timothy已连续10 年参加Great Cycle Challenge活动,是团队中最长期坚持的成员,也是大家学习的榜样!🙌 我们还庆祝了温馨时刻,比如Garron家族在“Kick Cancer’s Butt日”匹配捐赠,为骑手如 Timothy(578.41 加元)、Yi Yan(533.83 加元)和 Zoe Ren(345.92 加元)提升了总额。支持者的鼓励留言,如“全力骑行🚵‍♀️”和“骑行和帮助生病儿童做得好”,让我们的精神高涨。 衷心感谢 没有我们热情的赞助者、骑手和啦啦队的支持,这一切都不可能实现。向慷慨的捐赠者致谢,他们相信我们的使命,将同情转化为行动。向我们的骑手致谢,无论是在雨中奋力前行,还是在家人的加油声中坚持不懈,你们的投入与热情都创造了奇迹!向每一位分享我们的故事、点赞我们的更新,或仅仅相信儿童无癌未来的支持者——从我们心底感谢你们。你们不仅帮助我们超额完成目标,还为拯救小生命提供了关键的资金支持。 继续骑行:欢迎明年加入我们! PNOA GCC 2025团队的成功证明,从我们最年轻的骑手到最富经验的骑手,每个人都能带来真正的改变。团队的情谊、个人的成就以及集体努力带来的深远影响,使得这不仅仅是一场骑行挑战——更是我们一年中最精彩的篇章。 如果你被激励(我们希望如此!),请在日历上标记2026年8月。无论你是两轮新手还是资深转动者,都加入我们,在PNOA 团队页面注册、捐赠或传播消息。 无论您是经验丰富的骑手还是休闲骑行爱好者,您的努力都将为这项崇高事业贡献力量!! 只要有一颗愿意付出的心,都可以加入PNOA团队,欢迎在PNOA 团队页面注册、捐赠或传播消息。一起为孩子们骑行,为生命加油!🚲💙 Video Courtesy of…
