Two U of G biological sciences students are featured on Global Winnipeg after pedalling across Canada this summer in an effort to raise money for dementia research.
Ian Whatley and Ben Love ended their trip in Halifax on Monday. The trip has been a lifelong goal of Whatley and Love, as members of their families have been affected by Alzheimer’s disease. The duo left from Vancouver in June, traveling approximately 120 kilometres a day. They came just a few hundred dollars short of raising their goal of $25,000.
A story on the two students also ran in At Guelph a month before they left.
