They are scheduled to wrap up the 7650 km adventure in St. John's NFLD on May 28. Will, 20, and Claire, 17, have been accompanied by their mother, Jennifer, who operates base camp from the family RV. All three are from Londesborough. Their original goal was to raise $7650 for Canadian Tire's Jumpstart program, which provides financial assistance to help kids par- ticipate in organized sports. Fundraising began with family and friends and quickly spread throughout their hometown and nearby rural communities. They surpassed their fundraising goals before their tour even began. The Bike7650 fundrais- ing tally currently tops $24,000.
