Cyclist completes 2614 km ride to Whitehorse for diabetes aid
Scott Hubbs, 32, finished a 2614 kilometer cycling journey from Vancouver to Whitehorse in 19 days to raise funds for juvenile diabetes research. Along the way he inspired Taelor Warneke of Chetwynd and collected donations toward a $10,000 goal, with a BBQ celebration in Whitehorse and a stop in Chetwynd on July 29. The article notes BC Hydro tax contributions to Chetwynd and the Peace River Regional District, totaling about 141.8 million province-wide for 2003, with specific allocations to school taxes and grants in lieu. Donations may be sent to Juvenile Diabetes Research for Hubbs’s cause.
