Ministry: MINES

Years doing the B4UW? Six with a hiatus of 1.  Back at it!

What’s your day job? MINES Senior Policy Advisor
What’s your past biking experience?   Toronto to Montreal Bike Rally with the Bike 4 Life
What’s your inspiration for this ride? I am riding this year to support the TransQueer Community in Ontario who are under siege and need our respect.  They face particular challenges in downtown Toronto that I cannot even begin to articulate.  The United Way provides some key supports that focus on social inclusion. 

How are you preparing for B4UW?  Indoor spin classes, lots of sleep.  And the Todd Eastman secret: NO POTATO CHIPS
What do you think will be your greatest challenge on the ride?  My greatest challenge will be “the wall” at 110km. 

What do you like to do other than riding your bike?  I’ve really enjoyed hiking through the Toronto ravine system this winter.  It’s like being in the countryside.
