Kate Hudson travelled accompanied by her rumoured boyfriend Lance Armstrong to Canada over the weekend to help raise over $1 million dollars for cancer research on a fund-raising bike ride, People.com reported.

The actress and the cyclist champion were spotted getting out of a minivan on Friday outside Toronto’s Hazelton’s Hotel, in Yorkville. The two, who reportedly began dating last month, travelled to Ontario for a charity event called Ride with Lance, where 40 residents from Waterloo, Ontario, joined the cyclist on a 117 kilometre ride. Donations were to raise money for cancer treatment for two nearby hospitals – Grand River Hospital in Kitchener and Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto.

The couple have, if not a great romance, at the very least a romantic mini-vacation before the race. The pair spent several days in rugged Muskoka, a northern Ontario summer holiday enclave, where Hudson’s mother, Goldie Hawn, has a cabin.

On Friday, Kate took her 4-year-old son Ryder out for lunch and ice-cream in the trendy Toronto Yorkville shopping district, People.com reported. The actress was also spotted with Lance’s children, Luke, 8, and 6-year-old twin girls Grace and Isabelle, while Armstrong prepared for the race.

In the evening, the two were seen canoodling in the lobby of their hotel.

“He was laughing and she was laughing and they put their arms around each other,” an observer told People.com. “It was sweet.”

After the race, the actress accompanied Armstrong for a gala dinner at a county estate.

“As a cancer survivor, Lance is very committed to take on the cause,” a local participant, Tom Wideman was quoted as saying by the same source.
