Wild Ride - Hike

Sun Peaks Alpine Meadows Walk Saturday, August 2 - A Wild Ride event!

Joy Gothard and crew had a lovely walk/hike in the alpine on Saturday.  The thunderclouds did not roar, strike lightning nor drop rain and eventually the sun appeared.  They hiked to Tod lake-13km. Although the alpine flowers are near the end, they did find spots of colour

What is the Wildride raising funds for?

This year, the Wild Ride is raising funds for a new project to install solar suitcases in Mozambique and Madagascar. A solar suitcase is a bright yellow case that is mounted to the interior wall of a health clinic and connected to a solar panel on the roof. The case opens up to reveal power outlets for portable lights, a head lamp, a fetal Doppler and cell phone chargers. Medical attendants have the tools they need to support women through labour and delivery, especially at night.

Each solar suitcase costs $6,500 and the Wild Ride hopes to raise $52,000, enough to install solar suitcases in eight clinics.

Despite the threat of thunderstorms, 2 Susans joined Joy Gothard to walk the alpine meadow trails of Sun Peaks and help support safe births in Mozambique and Madagascar.

Thanks to a generous donor, every dollar you give will be matched up to $150,000
