I am so excited about Avery’s Ride for PKU and so honoured to have her Uncle Kevin take on such an amazing fundraising and advocacy event.  This is sure to catch the eye of the government, the people, and the media. I am sure it will bring much more needed awareness to PKU and am looking forward to helping out any way That I can.

I am offering to host Kevin if he shall chose. I also and offering to host and organize an event in Kamloops when Kevin rides though. Maybe If i am in shape enough by the time he reaches here Cole and I can meet him on our bikes!

I also hope to Collect Donations to donate to Kevin and CanPKU.

I am also going to reach out to Thompson Rivers University and my nursing student friends to see if they would like Kevin to guest speak on PKU , while he is in town.

There are many ways we can all show our support to Kevin, Avery , PKU and CanPKU. For more details on how you can support this event or on the ride across canada please check out the website at : http://www.rideforpku.ca/
