History of the Ride
How the Ride For Gutu Mission Hospital Started
In 2022, Dr. Peter Agwa had an idea. Having participated in a few fundraising rides, he wondered if he could raise funds for EMAS Canada for a cause dear to him. That cause was the plight of the mothers and babies at Gutu Mission Hospital in Zimbabwe.
What began as a germ of an idea, sprouted into the inaugural ride from Burlington to Ottawa.
Since that time, the Ride for Gutu Mission Hospital has become an annual event, raising more than $100,000 to health care work in the region. It has also expanded to include a Zimbabwe Ride as well.
