Today on the show, I had two incredible guests in studio: Sonia Kruger, Development & Events Manager at Our Kids Count, and Brianne Maxwell, Big Brothers Big Sisters Coordinator. They joined me to talk about one of the most energizing community events happening in Thunder Bay this June – and if you’ve been looking for a reason to get your team together, this is it.

A Community Event That Brings People Together

Sonia shared how this event is built for businesses, community groups, friends, and families. It’s not just a fundraiser – it’s a chance to bond, laugh, challenge yourselves, and support local kids in a meaningful way.

Whether you’re a workplace looking for a team‑building moment or a group of friends wanting to do something memorable, this event checks every box.

Every team. Every rider. Every pedal. It all makes a difference.

Why This Ride Matters

Brianne spoke about the impact events like this have on mentorship and connection for young people in our community. Programs like Big Brothers Big Sisters rely on community support to keep matching kids with mentors who help shape their futures.

Funds raised help create:

• Stronger relationships
• More support for families
• More opportunities for kids to thrive

This isn’t just a ride – it’s an investment in Thunder Bay’s future.

Come Ride, Come Cheer, Come Support

Even if you’re not hopping on a bike, you’re invited to be part of the excitement. Bring your energy, your voice, your people. Cheer on the teams and celebrate the spirit of community that makes Thunder Bay special.

Every pedal helps create stronger connections and brighter futures for local kids.
