Brian Godfrey, left, and friend Bob Wilson.

When it comes to “going that extra mile” to help others, Re/Max of Nanaimo’s Brian Godfrey really takes it to the next level. The Vancouver Island Realtor is planning on taking three months off from his busy career this May to ride across the country on a bicycle as a fundraiser for the B.C. Children’s Hospital (BCCH).

Godfrey and friend Bob Wilson plan to ride 7,300 km, expecting to be on the road 73 days for an average of 100 km per day.

Godfrey says that he and his wife, Shirley, (who will serve as part of the journey’s support team) have luckily never needed the services of the Children’s Hospital for their two children, but he knows many who have.
