Thank you everyone who donated to Kilometres for Kids.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n Alex learned to ride a bike early with the help of his father who in his younger days was also an avid cyclist. . One of his first adventures was riding with his father and a friend from Kincardine to Waterloo. While living in Deep River he rode a few 120 km rides as part of the MS Fundraiser. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alex became a mason as soon as he could at age 21, a Noble of the Mystic Shrine and member of the Bruce Shrine Club in 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why is he doing this bike ride?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I’ve always been inspired by people that do crazy things to raise awareness and funds for good causes. As cycling is my activity of choice I wanted to use it to bring some awareness to the Shrine and their good works with the hospitals. The Shriners work tirelessly to ensure that the kids get the help they need and I thought that this could be my part. Also, I know that to keep the hospitals funded and the good works continuing, we need new members. This type of event, I hope, will be a great way to introduce a whole new generation to our chosen fraternal philanthropy.”<\/strong> Noble Alex Rauket<\/p>\n\n\n\n
