Cycle of Hope 2025 – A Remarkable Journey and Fundraising Triumph

An Amazing Week in Kenora!

From August 5 to 8, 2025, our Cycle of Hope team, consisting of 36 passionate cyclists and 8 dedicated support crew, took on the stunning terrain of Kenora, Ontario, to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity Manitoba.

Over four days, the team rode more than 250 km and climbed 2,035 meters through the rolling hills of the Precambrian Shield. Our routes took us to Longbow Lake, Minaki, and Rushing River Provincial Park, surrounded by rugged rock faces, sparkling lakes, and lush boreal forests. While weather forced the cancellation of our final ride to Redditt, the spirit and camaraderie of the team never faltered.

A Heartfelt Thank You

We are deeply grateful to everyone who made Cycle of Hope 2025 possible – our incredible support crew, every committed participant, our generous sponsors, our donors, and the welcoming communities along our route. Your dedication and generosity helped us exceed our fundraising goal, raising over $120,000 to build a new home for Billamena and her family.
