While Hoerdt says the ride's about raising awareness and speaking with people impacted by ARVC, he says there's more to it.

Hoerdt asks everyone to "spread the word" about ARVC to change the system across the country, but also check out the website at www.arvcfamilysupport.ca, and donate to help the cause.

He's expected to arrive in Wawa late today - wearing red as he rides in from White River - and will be staying at the Mystic Isle Motel tomorrow, if people wish to meet with the team and get a t-shirt.
