Finaly it's there! Kick off, the big day! Kite - U2

I am really serious, for the first time in my life I feel what stress and adrenaline can do with a person. 16 hours left before I feel the wind blowing, me further and further away of Barcelona, the city of my dreams. I have to say, I will miss this town, the people and the weather. But it's a one in a lifetime chance who comes reality. I dreamed about it, and now it's real. Life is not only for people who are realistic, dreamers can makes thing happen.

I said goodby here to the people I had to see before I leave and now I have to arrange some things for tomorrow. But the webpage and the blog are fine. I am glad that I have something to look forward.

Tomorrow the big thing will be leave the city centre. Then I will take the N-II who brings me to Badalona, Mataró, Arenys de Mar. A beautiful road next to the see before taking the country side to Girona and Figueras to go back to the city of Rosas. I am sure I will sit at the beach tomorrow, listening to the Go Gear Against Cancer Music. Thinking back to the time when it al started for me here, on a holiday with my parents.

In the morning I will try my scooter, preparing myself for a last party here and at 16.00h I will leave. Every day I will do my messige on this blog about one of my favourite songs. Today it's Kite of U2. Because I don't know wich way the wind will takes me, but even if i say goodbye tomorrow and look back for one last time, I will say "see you back, but not yet, not yet".

Ciao Joachim

Go Gear Against Cancer

The pilot of this project want a little bit interaction with the people who visit the website and the blog. And because a well-known Belgian radio station says that 'Life is Music', We Ride Against Cancer changed it a little bit. For our team 'Music is Life'.

What's the Go Gear Against Cancer. Joachim will have on his trip his Go Gear mp3-player. He put twenty of his favourite songs on it. Every day he will try to talk to a person and ask for his/her favourite song. The song and the story behind comes on the webblog and the song comes on the mp3-player.

Also you can make your favourite song comes on the Go Gear, all you have to do is put a little story of the song as a reaction of this message.

The 27th of June is the music in Café Doka, the music of The Go Gear mp3-player.

Because Music is Life,

We Ride Against Cancer

Doka Against Cancer

We ride against cancer is nothing without the support of other people. A person who also thinks that our project is good to Support is Wim of Café Doka in Merkem.

The last evening of my trip, before travelling to Gent, I visit my hometown Merkem for a stop in the Doka Café, Westbroekstraat 18, Merkem. The 27th of june around 18.00h I will arive there, and it is a good moment to have some drinks, eat something of the BBQ, have a nice evening and supporting the Child Cancer Foundation.

So the day before leaving the centre of Barcelona I want to invite all of you for a special evening. There you will also see all the pictures of the We Ride Against Cancer trip, this on the sounds of the Go Gear Against Cancer music.

Be there!

Joachim & Wim

Welcome

I am very proud to welcome you on the We Ride Against Cancer blog.

We Ride Against Cancer is a young project who wants to support children and their family who have to face a difficult period in life. By traveling on a scooter in Europe Joachim Vercaigne, the pilot, Cooltra, Peugeot and the Balbalclub wants to collect funds and raise awareness for the Child Cancer Foundation.

Whe hope that our dream of 'Unite people for Hope and Solidarity' comes true. We realise that alone we cannot make the difference. But we are sure that together we can.

On this webblog you can follow the ambitious scooter road trip. You will find more information about other initiatives to raise money and support for the foundation.

We hope you enjoy your time on this blog,

Yours sincerely,

Joachim Vercaigne and the We Ride Against Cancer team
