Ongoing Events

Cycle of Life tour held June 2011.
A local man, Graham Robertson who attended Edward Milne School and now living in Victoria is cycling from Alaska back to the Island to raise funds for the Victoria Hospice
Update: He raised approx.$ 13,000 for the Hospice. Contact Cycle of Life for more info |
His original inspiration for this ride came from a friend and colleague Lindsay Atkinson who passed away last summer from Lymphoma.
There are several ways in which you can contribute. One of the easiest, and which helps the most, is to talk about the Hospice and about the Cycle of Life Tour. Word of mouth is one of the most powerful tools for sharing information and an idea.. aside from Facebook I mean. The more people that know about the amazing service the Victoria Hospice provides and how to help, the better it can grow and help even more of those in need and their families.
