City Boy Raises Thousands For Hospital Foundation

A nine-year-old Thunder Bay boy has completed his journey.

Michael Vita rode 1,000 kilometres on his bicycle during the spring and summer to raise money for the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation.

As of today, the total raised was $11,575, with a grand total to be announced in several weeks once final donations are tallied.

A big boost for the ride came in mid-August, when Impala Canada announced they would match up to $1,000 in donations to the effort.

What followed was a series of donations including a matching one from Allmar Inc.

  • Originally from southern Ontario, Jason found his way here and fell in love with the community and music scene of Thunder Bay over twenty years ago. In between various stints on radio, television and writing, Jason is a dad, a partner and (some would consider) a zoo keeper (seriously, he has a LOT of pets).
