Biker from Calgary returns home following a 500+ km ride across Iowa in support of veterans
Calgarian Completes 500-kilometre Bike Ride for Veterans
Geoff Low, a resident of Calgary, has returned home after successfully completing a seven-day, 500-kilometre bike ride called "Rag-Brai." The aim of this event was to raise awareness and funds for the Veterans Association.
Accompanied by his wife Rosanne, Low crossed the finish line of the bike ride, having raised a few hundred dollars for the worthy cause. The American Legion also made a donation to Low's fundraising effort.
Low emphasizes the importance of connecting with other participants in the bike ride. He hopes to inspire more veterans from the province and country to join him in future editions of the Rag-Brai. It's not necessary for new participants to be veterans, but they should be interested in hearing veterans' stories.
The Rag-Brai bike ride took place across Iowa. For more information about the Veterans Association mentioned in the fundraiser, you can visit or contact the Veterans Association thrift stores and food bank located in Calgary. The thrift store is at #1, 640 28th St NE, Calgary, with a contact number of 403-367-8387. Another location associated with the Veterans Association is #10, 820 28 St NE, Calgary, also reachable at 403-367-8387, where donations can be dropped off.
The Veterans Association seems to be a local Calgary organization supporting veterans through thrift stores and food bank initiatives, with connections to Veterans Affairs Canada for broader support and resources. Contacting them at the Calgary addresses or phone number 403-367-8387 is the best way to get direct information.
Low, who plans to participate in the Rag-Brai bike ride next year, encourages people to provide support to the Veterans Association. He is confident that the event will continue to make a positive impact on the lives of veterans in need.
After his successful 500-kilometer bike ride, Geoff Low, a Calgarian, now looks forward to the sports world taking notice of the news about the Rag-Brai event and joining him in the future editions to support veterans. The Veterans Association's upcoming sports events could potentially inspire more individuals from across the province and nation to contribute funds and lend their ears to veterans' stories.
