Testimonials

As a former competitive cyclist, I had the privilege (and a ton of fun!) participating in one of The Inside Ride cycling events, a terrific fundraiser for childhood cancer. The energy and enthusiasm of the organizers (Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation) and participants is inspiring, and means a brighter future for kids and their families impacted by cancer. Count on me to continue to support your amazing efforts and dedication to such an important cause.

I can’t thank you enough for bringing the Inside Ride to Redmond. The amount of positivity and school spirit that transpired because of this event was absolutely amazing! Teachers have commented that it was the best school event that they have seen in a decade…and all for the best cause! One student came up to me near the end of the event and said “I have never been so proud of this school”. So thank you all so much!!

As for feedback, you guys were wonderful. From our initial meeting, to our school assembly, to the event yesterday, and all contact in between, everything was great. I have nothing but positive things to say!

There is already talk about next years ride, so we definitely will be doing it again. We are proud of the amount we raised, but hope we can surpass it next year!

Thanks again!

I’d like to thank you all for helping us bring this wonderful event to Husky! It was amazing! This really is a memorable event for such an important cause and I’m so glad we were able to participate and contribute towards it. Thank you all again and we’re already looking forward to next year!

I just wanted to thank you and your team for delivering such an amazing event. What great music and energy! I think we’ve heard from almost everyone who attended and they had a blast. Many are already asking about next year’s event… which we’ll want to double in size!

The organizing team from The Inside Ride is a pleasure to work with. They all have a ‘can do’ attitude and always with a smile. Their enthusiasm for this great cause is contagious. Our employees have caught this enthusiasm, raising nearly twice as much in the second year as they did in the first. Truly one of the best events for some cost effective team building and morale boosting – all while supporting a very worthy cause.

I just wanted to thank you all for making yesterday such a tremendous success. Staff and students have been coming up to me all day saying how much fun they had and making sure that we do this again next year! It was a fantastic opportunity for staff and students to bond together for such a worthwhile cause.

The Inside Ride was a huge success for Hydro One on a number of levels; we had a great team building event, we had a thoroughly enjoyable time and we supported a worthy cause. Praise must be given to the Inside Ride team for ensuring the event went smoothly.

One of my best friends was diagnosed with malignant melanoma a couple years ago, and attended Camp Ooch for a few years. She always returned so happy from camp and wanted to tell me all about how wonderful it was. I loved being able to support her and kids like her with The Inside Ride. Thanks!

The feedback I am getting is awesome. It is being regarded as the best team building event ever organized in our company. Everyone has wonderful incredibly positive things to say.

We incorporated the Inside Ride into our 4th Annual Golden Horseshoe Conference held this past June in Niagara Falls. The energy and competition in the room for the prizes and recognition was running high! Most of all we had fun while making ourselves aware of a great cause. I would highly recommend this event. This event really helped to make the day more than just memorable; it made it meaningful.

I’ve been lucky in my career to be involved with many amazing corporate and community events. Today I witnessed something that Ottawa schools and companies should check out.

 

Its called The Inside Ride where you and your co-workers (or fellow students) ride in a team of 6 for 10 minutes each on a full size bike. While you’re huffing and puffing away, your teammates are right beside you cheering you on, fanning you and giving you water.

The idea is not to be the fastest group, but to raise funds for kids with Cancer and having a blast with your co-workers during a lunch hour.

Alcatel Lucent is the only Ottawa company to host this event for the second year in their main entrance with 28 teams taking part.

The music was pumping, atmosphere like a rock concert and best of all almost $30,000 was raised for kids with Cancer.

What an incredible experience we had with our June 5th Inside Ride! The passion and energy of the organizers are contagious. As we took over the courtyard across from the TSX, it was difficult not to notice us. I have had people stop me in the underground of Toronto’s financial district saying, “We’ll be there with you next year! As I said in closing last week, hope and happiness are contagious. What a wonderful way to support the bravest of our children and their families…..by bringing hope and happiness, not only to our Inside Ride but to everything we do and everyone we meet…..every day.

The Inside Ride we incorporated into our annual Golden Horseshoe Education Conference was a resounding success. The energy, enthusiasm and commitment demonstrated by our respective consultants more than exceeded my expectations.

In retrospect, The Inside Ride developed into a fantastic team-building event. The feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive.

It was amazing to watch all of our people come together unconditionally in support of kids with cancer. Thanks again for all your assistance.

This is by far the most our school has ever been involved in anything.

I have never seen the students come together like this, and the amount of team sprit shown is just amazing.

The feedback I am getting is awesome. It is being regarded as the best team building event ever organized in our company. Everyone has wonderful incredibly positive things to say.

On behalf of all of us, we’d like to thank you for coming and helping us run what has been said by many experienced staff member’s as the best thing they’ve seen at Earl of March in a long long time. It was a great success and I’m sure will want to be run every year or more after yesterday.

Thanks again for such a great day. It was really a special thing for our school community…in my seven years here I’ve never seen anything like it!

Once again, on behalf of our administration team, I would like to personally thank you and your team on a very successful Inside Ride here at St. Mary’s last week! We are still talking about how great of a day it was! This was largely due to the fact as to how organized, effective, efficient, and enthusiastic your team was! From the time we started on this journey, you and your co-workers were so very supportive and helpful and from a school perspective made our work much easier! I have been involved with many organizations over the years and as wonderful each was to work with, the Coast to Coast Cancer Foundation was by far the best to date in terms of providing school support!

We are so happy to know our donations will make a difference!

Thank you and I hope we get to work together again!"

Best fundraiser I’ve ever seen! Great staff, superb organization and all round fantastic job!

Thanks again to the entire Inside Ride team for making the event such a success. It was both a pleasure and an honour to work with you. We look forward to building upon this year’s event for future success.

The Inside Ride is an excellent event for the workplace. As well as promoting a sense of the team working together, it reinforces the importance of exercise and healthy living.

The Inside Ride has brought a sense of unity and collectiveness to our school which is something we haven’t experienced in a long time.
