For three years Frans Jonker reclaimed his fitness by biking. His introduction to most of the Victoria twitter community in July 2009 was through tweets about his rides. Originally he planned to cycle to Port Hardy as a personal challenge but people encouraged him to use it as an opportunity to raise funds for charity.
Thus, The Road to Port Hardy charity bike ride for the BC Cancer Foundation became reality. After a tweetup Aug 12th, Frans launched his ride August 16th, cycling 525km in 4 days and raising almost $10,000!
Pecha Kucha Volume 3 August 12th focused on food.
Social Media Club's August meeting featured Social Video with Don Power , Daniel Barton and Cris Vleck.
Carl Leone @VicCityParty who most of us met at Social Media Day, went to give blood in early August. That sparked the beginning of the #yyjbleeders tweetups (August 12th and October 23rd).
The next #yyjbleeders is Saturday January 15th. If you've never given blood before - why not make this a resolution for 2011? Please read the meetup description carefully.
