Rider Profiles: Mike M

We want to introduce you all to the people involved in the ride! We will be posting profiles of each of our 5 riders, as well as the 4 sanctuaries we are riding for. 

First up, meet Mike!

"I’ve been vegan for over 3 years. I’m a University of Guelph graduate with a BSc. in Physical Sciences. I’m passionate about animal rights (including humans), and environmental justice (particularly soil and water issues). I enjoy cycling, soccer, cross-country skiing, disc golf, hiking, canoeing, reading, and I love vegan potlucks! 

Visiting and helping out at farm animal sanctuaries and bearing witness to the plight of farmed animals has demonstrated a powerful contrast to me in the ways humans can treat other species. I felt an especially close connection to the young steers at Snooter’s and Stormy the pig at Ruby Ranch.

I hope that this ride will provide support and bring recognition to the work these sanctuaries do.  I also hope to serve as an example of how following a vegan diet can provide the proper nutrition and energy for a healthy and physically active lifestyle."
