Ride to Conquer Cancer

The ride to conquer cancer is a 260km bike ride on the weekend of June 19/20. This fundraising event is put on by the BC Cancer Foundation and is supported by over 1700 participants. This years ride is from Vancouver to Seattle, all participants must fund raise a minimum of $2,500 each.  Vic Carrao owner of STS Guiding Service and his daughter Deanna are both entered to ride this June. Combined our goal is to reach a minimum of $5000 but we hope to get the number as high as possible.

So far many of our friends, members of fishing with rod and past clients have made generous donations to get us near our target goal. To push us even further STS Guiding Service has donated a weekend fishing vacation for two including accommodations, breakfast, lunch and 2 days guided fishing. Vic & Deanna will be your guides so it should be fun. All people donating will be enter to win, good luck

I was thinking of you the other day wondering how you were making out. Just know I am wishing you all the best and that I am very proud of you and your daughter for doing this for all those affected by this awful disease.
