Last week a cyclist took on a 1,020 kilometre trek to raise funds and awareness for children with cancer.
Len Spratt, 72, is the board chair of Gas Alberta took on the Ride for Legends, leaving from Kehewin Cree Nation, where he manages the gas utility and ended at the SANG Gas CO-OP in Lac Ste. Anne on June 29. He was through Drumheller on June 24.
From there he travelled on to a meet and greet in the Beiseker-Irricana area, where he met with Carol Callaghan, manager of the Rosebud Gas Co-op and staff, as wells as representatives of the Harvest Hills Gas Co-op.
The Ride for Legends was sponsored by the Managers Group of Gas Alberta Gas Co-ops, Gas Alberta Inc., and the Federation of Alberta Gas Co-ops.
His ride supports the Kids With Cancer Society (KWCS), which provides more than 50 programs and activities that address their unique and complex needs ranging from family programs and activities, counselling services, and financial and educational support. KWCS also helps bereaved families and childhood cancer survivors as well.
Spratt is a big supporter of this charity and has completed many different rides over the years to raise funds and awareness. Each day of the trek he rides in honour or in memory of children who have fought cancer. As of Monday, July 5, his ride has raised almost $70,000.
