Rudy rides for cancer research

When Rudy Pospisil was waging a battle with cancer ten years ago, he marveled at the dedication and commitment of volunteers who raised money for cancer research by running, walking, climbing mountains, riding bikes, even selling lemonade.
He vowed someday to join them, to help find a cure for the disease that had ripped through his own family over the years, and seemed to have a particular affection for his professional family of firefighters.
On Sept. 5, the 51 year-old captain with the Burnaby Fire Department will climb on his black Giant touring bike in White Rock and embark upon his own epic journey towards a cure for cancer by riding down the Pacific coast to the Mexican border. He's calling his trip "Three Countries For Three Cancers," because the money he raises along the way from Canada through the United States to Mexico will be targeted towards pancreatic, prostrate and breast cancers.
It's not his first such cycling adventure.
Last year he pedaled alongside the Danube River to six European countries, visiting, and occasionally riding with, firefighter colleagues along the way. He was so encouraged by their camaraderie and the money he was able to raise, he started planning this year's journey immediately upon his return.
That means correcting the mistakes he made from inexperience on his first ride, like making sure he stays hydrated, replenishing his electrolytes and keeping fueled up on the road with energy bars.
It means liaising with emergency services along his route.
"We all got into our line of work because what we really like to do is help people," said Pospisil, who's been a firefighter for 24 years. "We're always helping people, even in our spare time. It's in our DNA."
Early on, the Burnaby RCMP jumped on board. They saw Pospisil's ride as an opportunity to extend the reach of their own effort with the annual Cops For Cancer ride, also in September, said John Buis, of the Burnaby RCMP.
"We work together to secure the city of Burnaby, so why can't we do this together," said Buis, who will be joining Pospisil in Los Angeles for a special presentation to that city's police chief. "It's still all about raising awareness and funds, regardless of who's doing it."
Pospisil said he'll also be getting escorts in Seattle, San Francisco and San Diego, and giving talks about Terry Fox to anyone who will listen.
"He was an inspiration to me," said Pospisil. "No matter where I am, people know who he was, and what he did."
Pospisil figures it will take him 30 days to complete his 3,000 kilometer journey, pedaling 80-100 kms a day, ascending more than 21,000 meters.
"Doing it day after day, that's the hard part," said Pospisil. "The winds are relentless. Your neck hurts. Your back hurts."
But the aches and pains of that daily grind will be salved if he reaches his fundraising goal of $25,000.
Pospisil and his supporters will be in front of Chapters at Metropolis at Metrotown this weekend selling raffle tickets for prizes that include a luxurious weekend in Whistler, and on Saturday night he'll be hosting a fundraiser at 131 Water St. in Vancouver.
