Join us for a Dream Bike-A-Thon
Recently I had the privilege of becoming involved with one of Manitoba’s most magical charities, The Dream Factory!
If you’ve never heard of them... prepare to have your socks knocked off! The Dream Factory has made dreams come true for over 700 kids here in Manitoba who are battling life-threatening illnesses. I want to help them make even more dreams come true. But I can't do it alone.
Last year Spokes + Dreams raised $5000 thanks to the generous support from people like you. This helped Zayne's dream of visiting her family in the Philippines come true. EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR raised at Spokes + Dreams will stay right here in Manitoba to fulfill Dreams for children bravely fighting life-threatening illnesses. Kids like Ethan.
Meet Ethan!
This little Avenger is dreaming BIG!
Ethan is a strong little guy battling acute lymphoblastic leukemia. He dreams of visiting Disney World to meet his favourite super heroes. Over the last year and a half, medications, consults, blood transfusions, lumbar punctures, and biopsies have become 'normal'. With your support, we can give Ethan and his family well deserved time away from the appointments, tests and pokes. You can help give Ethan time to just be a kid.
Today - I’m asking for your help. Please, join me in fulfilling a DREAM for Ethan, a very special child right here in our community.
On Saturday, June 13th, 2020, the 2nd Annual Spokes + Dreams Bike-a-Thon will take place at St. Vital Park. Registration will open at 10:00AM, the race itself will take place from 10:30AM-11:30AM, and we will finish the day with a BBQ, magic show and tons of fun for the whole family!

Event Details:
Location: St Vital Park -Sites 1 + 2 (click here to see the map)
Participants will choose how many laps they want to cycle (click here to see the map) and ask families, friends, and co-workers to sponsor their participation in the event. It can be a set donation, or a donation per lap (ex. $5 per lap at 10 laps = $50.00 donation). Every dollar raised will help bring a dream to life right here in our community.
Being able to support a young child, right here at home, was a dream come true for me. This year I hope you will join me in making Ethan's dream come true.
All participants, volunteers and sponsors will receive a lunch voucher/ticket for a free hotdog lunch. For members of the public, hotdog lunches will be available by donation. All proceeds will support our goal!
We are looking forward to seeing you there!
Sincerely,
Carla McLennan
