Biking Eastward Across Manitoba in a 24-Hour Timeframe on the 24th Anniversary
Cyclists embark on 24-hour journey to promote sobriety and support addiction treatment
Four cyclists, including Charlie Tétreault, Rob Tétrault, Chris Morrissette, and Victor Lhoset, have set off on a challenging 24-hour ride across Manitoba. The journey, which began at the Manitoba-Saskatchewan border at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, aims to reach the Manitoba-Ontario border by 10:58 p.m. the same day.
The cycling challenge is a special initiative by Charlie Tétreault to celebrate his 24th year of sobriety and promote an alcohol-free lifestyle. The ride is dedicated to the Bruce and Anne Oake Foundation, a non-profit organisation focused on addiction treatment and recovery support.
Charlie and his team have partnered with the foundation to help spread their message and raise funds for addiction treatment. The cycling journey has already raised over $1,000 in donations for the foundation, thanks to the support of volunteers and Charlie’s brother, who played a significant role in organising the logistics.
The Bruce and Anne Oake Foundation supports programs and treatment for people affected by addiction, with a focus on recovery and a healthier lifestyle. Charlie and the cycling team are using the event as a platform to raise awareness for sobriety and to promote a healthier lifestyle.
The cyclists have formed a group to minimise energy loss during the ride and have received financial support from the Bruce and Anne Oake Foundation. Some participants in the cycling group have been abstinent for several decades after years of excess, making their commitment to an alcohol-free lifestyle even more inspiring.
Charlie Tétrault stated that the ride wouldn't have been possible without the support of the community. Many volunteers came up to help with the cycling journey, demonstrating the importance of the cause to the local community.
The involvement of the Bruce and Anne Oake Foundation highlights the cyclists' commitment to promoting an alcohol-free lifestyle and supporting those affected by addiction. The cyclists aim to complete the west-to-east crossing of Manitoba in under 24 hours, using the challenge as a testament to their determination and dedication to their cause.
