We are doing this Tandem Tour for a very simple reason. To raise money to fight for the causes that we believe in.
This morning, our dear friend Eva, the reason that we are riding for Cystic Fibrosis, passed away.
Eva had been fighting Cystic Fibrosis her entire life, and in 2007, she underwent a double lung transplant. Since the transplant, Eva had been working tirelessly to raise awareness about Cystic Fibrosis, and the importance of organ donation.
Eva was also facing chronic rejection, and this morning, she simply ran out of breath.
Eva was a beautiful girl, and touched everyone in her life with her warm and loving personality.
We are now asking people to please donate to the Vancouver Chapter of the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, in memory of Eva. Just click here:

For a look at Eva's story, you can watch the documentary film, 65_redroses, which profiles her life before, during and after transplant, and shows how she connected with other CF patients via her livejournal. You can sign up to be an organ donor on the website, at http://www.65redroses.com/
love love love,
The Tandem Boys
