Share the Road with an Olympian
Devon Kershaw
One of Canada's most accomplished ski racers, three-time World Cup medalist, Devon Kershaw will be returning to his native Sudbury, Ontario for two important reasons in late July.
-
On Wednesday, July 29th, Kershaw will be teaming up with Eleanor McMahon, the Founder of Share the Road, to raise awareness for bike safety and healthy lifestyles. This joint initiative between Kershaw and Share the Road will feature a group bike ride in Sudbury on the evening of July 29th. The 15km ride will start and finish at Science North and will be open to cyclists of all ages and abilities.
Kershaw and McMahon share a common tragedy. Eleanor McMahon lost her husband OPP Sergeant Greg Stobbart, who was killed while on a training ride on his bike in June 2006, and Devon’s girlfriend Sophie Manarin was also killed on a training ride in 2001. The Share the Road Ride is being held in order to raise awareness for the importance of sharing the road safely in order to prevent further tragedies.
-
On Thursday, July 30th, Kershaw will be hosting a personal fundraising luncheon at the Idylwylde Golf Club between 12:00-1:00pm. Guests will be treated to a rare, behind-the-scenes look into the life of a World Cup skier, where Kershaw will discuss his rise to the top of the world cross-country ski ranks, and his expectations for the 2010 Olympics. Tickets for the luncheon are $50.00 and can be purchased at www.devonkershaw.com.
