POWERED BY COMMUNITY IS UNDERWAY!!!

Get Flash to see this player.

Crohn's Disease and Colitis affects over 200,000 people in Canada alone. There is no known cure for this disease and we have yet to find the root of this painful, life changing illness.

Beginning on June 16th, 2008, two young lads will board their bicycles and pedal for nearly 8000 kms.

Greg Mailloux and Vin Heney, from Amherstburg, ON., have made it their mission to traverse Canada—from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean—in efforts to promote environmental sustainability and raise funds for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC).

Powered by Community, the name given to the journey, is about much more than a bike trip; it encompasses a philosophy of reflection, sustainability, and creation. Put simply, the idea is to identify problems in our health and environment, and to collectively work towards solutions.

In pursuing such ends, Powered by Community is actively seeking support in the form of sponsorship, advertisement, and contributions of any kind. With your help, we aim to help communities breathe easy, peddle hard, and live long.

All the Best,
Greg and Vin
