JEREMY
IS BIKEPACKING ACROSS CANADA
Hi, I’m Jeremy, a Canadian biking across Canada over the summer of 2025. Earlier this year, I stepped away from my job to pursue this once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Starting on the west coast and heading east, I’m carrying everything I need to be self-supported on my bike. Prioritizing offroad surfaces to avoid cars as much as possible, I’m planning to ride 11,500km with over 80,000m of elevation gain.
Along the way, I’ll be sharing updates from the journey on social media and raising money for Fahr Beyond, the only charity in the world that exclusively works with Fahr’s patients such as my Uncle, who was diagnosed late last year. My goal is to raise $10,000 for the charity to directly bring more awareness for the disease and provide supporting materials for clinicians and patients around the world.
FOR UNCLE WAYNE
Late last year, my Uncle Wayne was diagnosed with Fahr's disease. For those unfamiliar with Fahr's, it's a genetically-inherited neurological disorder characterized by calcium deposits in the brain. The diagnosis came as a huge shock to our entire family, especially realizing that Fahr's is degenerative, terminal and there is no current cure. Even worse, the disease is hereditary and may be passed down to my cousins and other future family members.
Upon researching Fahr's further online, I was shocked to find how little awareness and focus is put towards the disease despite how vicious it is. Because most clinicians don't know what to look for, it's believed that as many as 1 in 20 diagnoses of Alzheimer's or Dementia could actually be misdiagnosed cases of Fahr's disease.
With the above in mind, my path became clear and my primary motivation for embarking on this journey solidified.
If you have the means to do so, it would mean the world to me and my family if you could contribute some money towards my fundraiser goal.
COME ALONG FOR THE RIDE
Anyone who knows me well knows that I don’t really ever post on social media. But for the purpose of this trip, I’m going to give it my best shot to take friends and family along for the journey.

I’ll also be updating this website with more photos and videos as the journey progresses. Despite being a beginner photographer and videographer, I’ll try my best to bring you a true representation of the beauty of this country.
