The Ride for Lyme will be making its way from Banff to Canmore this afternoon, followed by the Lyme Sucks Challenge in front of Save-On-Foods.  You’re invited to ride with the team departing from the Banff Rocky Mountain Resort at 4pm or watch the challenge at about 4:45pm.

Wendy Walker from the Lyme Disease Association of Alberta talks about today’s ride and challenge.

This leg of the ride is dedicated to Eryn Goodman, a once vibrant and healthy 15-year-old who is now confined to a wheelchair.  Lyme disease also affects a number of Bow Valley residents, most notably Sarah Hutchison.  Click here to find out more about Lyme disease.
