Team Captains

Thank you for becoming a 2021 Cycle for Sight Team Captain! Team Captains play a vital role in the success of Cycle for Sight – not only do you get your family and friends in on the fun, but you are important champions in our vision loss community.

Team Captain Spotlight:

Lawrence Penney, Team Captain of NL T'RAILWAY BULLETS

After flying from St. John’s to Toronto for several years to participate in Cycle for Sight, Lawrence and his wife, Amy decided it was time they lead the launch of the Newfoundland Cycle for Sight in 2017. That’s when Lawrence also became a Team Captain and since then he and his teammates have raised more than $8,475 for vision research!
