Raising funds for four children's charities
A ride built on friendship and common purpose.
Paul and Carol Tindley joined the Truants Foundation's 11th overseas cycling challenge, completing more than 170 km through French Canada from near Mont Tremblant to Montreal.
It was a fantastic experience shared with passionate friends from music, entertainment, investment, theatre, distribution, merchandising, and professional services. Different backgrounds came together around one goal, raising funds for children's charities.
The kilometres mattered, but so did the camaraderie, shared effort, and generosity around the riders. Every contribution helped turn a memorable challenge into practical support for children and young people.
One community. Four charity partners.
"A fantastic experience with passionate friends, all with a common goal to raise funds for children's charities."
