Do you either enjoy cycling, encourage education, and/or love to travel?
If so, you will enjoy Brenda Trenholme’s talk and photos of Cycling The Silk Route at 2PM on Monday October 28th at the Bonsor Recreation Centre, 6550 Bonsor Ave. (2nd floor). The event is by donation, to support the education of very poor, bright students in Kenya, East Africa. Brenda’s talk will also be presented at 7PM Oct. 29 in the Fireside Room of the Unitarian Church, 949 W. 49th Ave., Vancouver.
From May to early October, 2018, Brenda cycled from Beijing to Istanbul, 13,000 kilometres across The Silk Route, with a group from Canadian-based Tour d’Afrique. This was a fundraiser for students sponsored through KEEF – the Kenya Education Endowment Fund - a B.C.-based, volunteer-run educational charity supporting disadvantaged students in western Kenya (where high school is not free). Two years earlier, Brenda had cycled from Cairo to Cape Town for KEEF. A retired physician from Rossland, B.C., Brenda is a keen cyclist, skier and hiker.
