Calgary man home after cycling more than 500 kilometres across Iowa for veterans
Geoff Low and his wife returned to Calgary after cycling more than 500 kilometres across Iowa to raise money for the Veterans Association. A Calgarian has returned home after an ambitious journey -- raising money for veterans. Last month, CTV News reported about veteran Geoff Low preparing to take part in a bike ride with his wife Rosanne, called 'Rag-Brai' to raise awareness and funds for the Veterans Association. After seven days cycling more than 500 kilometres across Iowa, he crossed the finish line and raised a few hundred dollars including a donation from an American Legion. Low said he's planning on going back next year -- and hopes to inspire more veterans across the province and country to join him. 'The more people I can get to join us, the better it is for us because then we can relate to each other,' Low said. 'We can talk to each other. It doesn't even have to be other veterans, it's the ones that want to sit and listen to our stories and be heard.' Although this year's ride is done, Low is encouraging people to provide support to the Veterans Association.
