Bikes for Kids

Steve Brown – Peach City Runners, Penticton, BC

Cal Kellett – Real Rides.ca, Calgary, AB

This year was a great success for the Underpants Run during the ’09 Ironman event in Penticton, BC. Our goal each year with the run is to lighten up the mood for those athletes waiting anxiously for race morning, and for those who support these athletes to have a little fun as well.
Your support this year has helped us to sponsor another great young athlete, Ryan Yaneff. With the help of Barry Mah, our hard working SPECIALIZED Rep here in Alberta, we were able to present Ryan with a brand new Specialized road “Roubaix” bike just before Christmas. You can only imagine his delight & disbelief!

Thank you to everyone who contributed time, effort and funds to the cause, and especially to Barry Ma and SPECIALIZED for their generous contribution. A special thank you to the amazing team at GEARS BIKES in Mississauga, Ira Kargel-Kennedy and Kevin Wallace, who brought the bike in and built it up to fit Ryan perfectly.

Of course many thanks to Barrie Shepley from PERSONAL BEST for helping us find such a deserving young athlete. Ryan’s a special young man and we know that he will be motivated to pursue a long career in cycling and triathlon.

Thanks again,

Steve and Cal

I read a article under the same title some time ago, but this articles quality is much, much better. How you do this?
