CALL FOR HELP
Hey everyone. My dad suffered a stroke a couple of days ago and is recovering in hospital. He is doing well, but as with any stroke victim, there may be ongoing complications and potential adverse effects to ongoing health issues and quality of life.
As with any major health event of a loved one, my family's priorities have shifted to supporting him and to ensure that he has the best quality of care, especially once he is discharged from Hospital.
With that said, I am faced with the reality that I may need some significant help with a major cycling project that is coming up.
On March 12-15, I am tasked with organizing the Langford Bikefest which will feature the Canada Cup Langford XC races as well as Island Cup - Vancouver Island Mountain Bike Race Series. I need help with a wide range of areas and could use some key people to help coordinate: Race Course Setup / Teardown, Course Marshals, Registration Office.
If you are able to assist in any of these areas, please fill the online form here: https://www.langfordbikefest.com/volunteer
If you wish to help with taking on a team lead role, please email me at [email protected] and we can discuss. I am more than happy to pay a small honourarium.
For event details and the schedule: visit www.langfordbikefest.com.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks so much
- Jon Watkin (Event Director)
