Outlive Yourself Cyclist Arrives in Kenora

Canada has one of the lowest rate of organ donors in the industrialized world.

Cayse Ruiter cycled into Kenora yesterday as part of his Outlive Yourself campaign to raise awareness around the issue of organ donations.

He says that only around 20% of Canadian are registered organ donors, and that over 4000 people are awaiting transplants in Canada every year.

Ruiter is continuing his journey today by cycling to Thunder Bay.
