 Support or join our team, the Cathedral Crusaders, as we walk together to raise funds for the PWRDF Wild Ride!   

This year's Wild Ride will be dedicated to the memory of the Rev. Canon Greg Smith. Greg was a beloved PWRDF volunteer in the

Diocese of Huron for 20 years and passed away suddenly on May 6th.   

In 2022, twelve teams came together to participate in PWRDF's inaugural campaign and raised over $40,000 to assist its partners in their efforts to aid refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs) worldwide. 

The Cathedral Crusaders raised $3,300 of this amount.  Building on the success of its first-ever Wild Ride last year, PWRDF's ambitious fundraising goal for 2023 is $50,000. The 2023 PWRDF Wild Ride will run until Thanksgiving Day, October 9th, and is once again supporting PWRDF's partners who work with refugees or internally displaced persons (IDPs) in countries such as Tanzania, South Sudan, Jordan, Ukraine, and others. For more information on PWRDF's Wild Ride Campaign for 2023, or to support/join our Cathedral Crusaders team, please visit www.pwrdf.org/wild-ride/.  Watch in future issues of the Chronicle for more details of our walk! Thank you for your continued prayers and support of PWRDF  and its partners!
