Push for the Cure

Four good old Canadian boys have just completed their mission to raise money for women's breast cancer research. They skateboarded from Halifax to Vancouver. That's incredibly far!! Here are some quotes and pictures from the site, please go check it out - this is Canadian history!!

Riders Aaron Jackson (25), Benjamin Jordan (25), Carlos Koppen (26) and Rob Lewis (25) are stressing the importance of safety as they rally riders from all over North America and abroad for their finale event. The past months have had them skating up to 125km per day and they feel well-prepared for the challenges on the road ahead.


Throughout their record breaking event, the generosity from Canadians has been overwhelming and is a great motivation for the team. From hotel rooms to gas and food, individuals, communities and businesses have been incredibly generous.


Their efforts have already raised over $40,000 for the cause and they hope to double that amount in their final week. Rider Rob Lewis emphasizes, “Our goal was to raise at least $1 from each man in Canada as a symbol of their support, respect and gratitude for the women of their lives.


We’re not finished yet – we still need them to show their support for the cause and every dollar counts.” Supporters are welcome to make secure online donations through their website www.pushforthecure.com – the donation link leads to a site established and maintained by the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.






Push for the Cure will reach its finale on October 9th at Stanley Park in Vancouver. They plan to enter the city following a 3-day skate from Hope with hundreds of fellow riders.
