Please Light a Candle for Peter today
Peter passed away quietly and peacefully on the 22 of August 2006. He initiated and planned this event and it was his intention to join in on the first ride. This event says volumes about Peter, he motivated, inspired and persuaded a varied group of people and companies to participate and give support, time and money to the ride. He organised, planned and trained, while still undergoing treatment. His positive attitude, fighting spirit and courage inspired the team to complete the ride in his honour. Peter you are sorely missed by us all.
Lets remember why we are doing the 2009 ride. Thank you for the challenge and count yourself lucky to be part of this amazing event.

Peter Thomas
24.02.64 - 22.08.06
Peter was a young IT professional who suffered from GIST, a very rare form of cancer and died at the age of 42. He inspired a group of family, friends and colleagues to embark on an adventure to raise awareness and funds to fight GIST. It was part of Peter's dream that we should not stop at a single event and that we should continue with fund raising and challenging ourselves every three years. The Peter Thomas Bike Ride is an event open to anyone who wants to raise awareness of and money for GCRF (GIST Cancer Research Fund). This year a group of riders will be riding from Montreal to New York, a 1000 miles in 10 days!!!
