This year, all registration fees collected will go towards the Bay d'Espoir Cancer Benefit.

The Bay D'Espoir Local Cancer Benefit Group is a registered, non profit organization located on the South Coast of Newfoundland. The organization was formed when In 1999, when friends and family of Roger John held a concert in his honor. Roger, resident of Conne River, NL, had fought a lengthy battle with cancer and unfortunately, lost his battle a year earlier.

During this event, music was supplied by local entertainers and lasted for 13 hours. This benefit concert was so successful and the friends and family had enjoyed it so much, they decided to try and make this concert an annual event.

This years route will take us to Medonnegonix lodge and then on to Mount Sylvester. We will then follow the same route back to the lodge for a hot meal. Once refreshed we will return to our departure point.

At the lodge you can relax, enjoy the great outdoors, and try some ice fishing.

You are required to get your own Snowmobile to the departure point at least one hour before the departure time. This is to ensure that we are all there together, we can have discussions about the days event, and address any concerns before we leave.
