Sue and I met 11 years ago when we both joined a local chapter of Sweet Adelines International (women’s barbershop singing organization) and we have been singing together and friends ever since. While rehearsing for a quartet competition in 2018, I told Sue about the Rebelle Rally, meeting Emily Miller at BCOR, and how I would love to compete. Sue mentioned that she had done some navigating with her husband on driving vacations and would be interested in partnering up.

We competed together in 2020, 2021 and 2023 Rebelle Rally and were awarded the International Cup each year.

This year is special as we will be running the rally in memory of Sue’s grandson, River Hyde Nejad, who passed in March 2024 at the tender age of 3 years old. Little River was born prematurely and during his short life went through many surgeries and suffered from neurological difficulties. Our charity of choice this year is the Okanagan Similkameen neurological Society in Rivers honour.
