Curtis Morrow and friend Christine Wallace

Curtis Morrow, a sales rep from Royal LePage ProAlliance Realty in Belleville, Ont. turned his hobby of cycling into a personal challenge to raise funds in support of the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation. On Aug. 27, Morrow,  along with friends Kevin Layte and Christine Wallace, set out from Belleville at 6:13 am to ride to Ottawa. They rode the 237 km to Ottawa in 11 1/2 hours, stopping every few hours for a short break. Four hours of the ride were through pouring rain. It was a long day but they reached their goal of raising $1,500, which will be donated by the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation to the Three Oaks Foundation, a women’s shelter in Belleville.
