Ian's 24hr KM Challenge for ALS
My plan is to ride as many kilometres I can in a 24hr period on Sept 20th, 2021. I will start my ride at 6:00pm at The Victoria Airport where I ride the 10km airport loop as many times as possible through the night. When the sun comes up I will switch over to a familiar 100km loop through the city and will continue on that loop until i get to the 24hr mark. I hope to finish the ride at the Jubilee Playpark at the west end of Victoria Airport. My goal is to ride 600km and raise $18,000. I will be riding with support from the Saanich Firefighters Charitable foundation. You can follow my training and any updates leading up to the event through my Instagram which is @ian.w.duncan
Why did I create this event?
I created this event as my Dad was diagnosed with ALS in January this year. He is recently retired and this was really shocking/sad news for our family. Both my Mom and Dad have been incredibly positive over the past 6 months knowing the circumstances that surround them, my brother and myself. I am hoping to continue that positivity into the future and garner as much attention as possible to ALS. Since I am an avid cyclist I thought this would be a great way to raise funds for the ALS society of BC. Your support will help people and their families living with ALS have access to support groups, mobile clinics, psychologic support services and equipment. It will also help keep alive the hope of finding a cure for ALS. Thank you!
