March 07, 2019 – The Gravel Cup p/b Euro-Sports is proud to announce a long term partnership with the Shelley Gautier Para-Sport Foundation. We’re very excited to work with such an outstanding organization dedicated to enriching the lives of disabled people.
The Shelley Gautier Para-Sport Foundation
Ms. Shelley Gautier is a multiple World Champion and Paralympian Canadian para-cyclist who, despite being hemiplegic due to a biking accident, has continued to thrive and dominate in para-sports.
The Shelley Gautier Para-Sport Foundation mandate is to break down barriers by loaning para-cycling equipment and raising awareness, so people with disabilities can be more integrated into their communities. The foundation currently has contracts with the Niagara Region, Brantford, Whitby and Bromont, Quebec with the goal of expanding to other communities.
Sport is a rehabilitation tool that improves people’s health and wellness while transforming their bodies and minds. Sport reduces stress, creates independence, and helps individuals with disabilities obtain higher education and employment. Sport also reduces dependency on pain and depression medication and reduces secondary medical conditions.
We are a non-profit organization so we are always in need of your help! Together we can make a difference to the lives of people with disabilities through active, healthy living.

The Kin Vineyards Spring Runoff kickoff event is Saturday, April 6th and will run regardless of weather or conditions. There’s a backup route that doesn’t use any unmaintained roads and a shorter bad weather route. ALL BIKES are welcome so keep them all in working order. Also note there’s a non-competitive team option for both the long and short routes. Let the fun, camaraderie, and the battle for the Gravel Cup begin.
