Poverty Facts

The Sea to Sea cyclists, including Alice, Joan and Stan, and Bernice as support staff, will be travelling through Durham Region on Tuesday, August 13 on their way from Ajax to Trenton. There will be a rest station at Hope Fellowship to encourage the cyclists on their way. We hope to serve them with refreshments and a large dose of encouragement to cheer them on their way.
We need lots of people and lots of noise to encourage the cyclists. Please take some time to come and cheer the cyclists on! It is expected that the bulk of the cyclists will pass through between 7:00-9:00 a.m. so plan to come early to show your support for the tremendous work of raising funds for and awareness of poverty that these cyclists are doing.
If you want to encourage the cyclists with a card, they can be sent to the addresses at seatosea.org.
The Sunday Celebration closest to us takes place on August 11 at Redeemer University College at 3:00 p.m.
