Lucky was bored. He missed his friends and family. There had to be more to his lobster life than staring back at the faces of curious children from the glass tank in Oakville's Longos.

So he made a plan to escape.

At night when the store grew dark, Lucky quietly exercised to increase his strength. He ate only the healthiest of foods and practiced meditation to help him remain calm and practically unnoticeable while he bided his time.

He longed to feel the wind in his claws and to be able to see Canada in all its summer glory. So he made a plan to leave on August 20 and hitch a ride with some friends and caring cyclists who promised to help get him safely back to the Atlantic Ocean by August 27.

Help Lucky make the trip by donating to his fundraising goal of $10,000.

Lucky can’t wait to share all the stories and photos from his great adventure with his lobster friends and family living in the deep waters off the coast of Nova Scotia.

And Lucky can't wait to help those living with cancer through the Wellspring Ride for Cancer Support. 

Lucky is indeed a very lucky lobster.
