Thu, May 15, 2008 - Day 34- Vegreville, Alberta - 69 km
A big thanks to Lesley and Allan Fath - and your horse Pumpkin - for opening up your home to the Cycle to Walk team last night. I think it’s safe to say that we appreciated your hospitality as much as your horse appreciates carrots.
Wed, May 14, 2008 - Day 33 - Tofield, Alberta - 90 km
Today’s average speed was 21.3 km and the total distance travelled, 90.2 km, was completed in a total of 4 hours and 14 minutes (not including stop times). I can definitely say I’m feeling the tailwinds from the west. Yeah!!
Tue, May 13, 2008 - Day 32- Edmonton, Alberta- Non-Cycling Day
I don’t know where I would be in my life if I didn’t have a strong, determined, positive attitude. I recall going to Easter Seal Camps in Squamish, BC when I was younger and chatting with other people who had limited mobility. Some felt sorry for themselves and didn’t focus on their abilities. I always tried to demonstrate to people the things that I could do rather than focus on what I couldn’t do. Going through rehabilitation myself, I know first hand that it is an extreme test on one’s patience, body, and ego. There were times in my life where I cried and I just wanted to give up, but I knew in reality that it wasn’t what I wanted to do. I have challenging times in my life, just like everyone else. The trick is to keep pushing forward.
Mon, May 12, 2008 - Day 31 - Edmonton, AB - Non-Cycle Day
Today was exciting! It all began at 6:40 am in the studio of City TV’s Breakfast Television Show where Cycle to Walk had the opportunity to spread its message in a live interview. Thanks Wendy and all the Staff at City TV for welcoming us into your studio. Later in the morning, Cycle to Walk was presented a gift card for $500 for the team to use on any items sold by the Hudson’s Bay Company. Thanks to the HBC for the t-shirts.
Sun, May 11, 2008 - Day 30- Edmonton, Alberta- Non- Cycling Day
Cycle to Walk had an opportunity to share its message with members of Kirk United Church in Edmonton earlier today. Thank you to all of you for your kind hospitality and contributions to the campaign, helping us raise $852 this morning!

The team is so appreciative to Wayne and Gwen Halabisky (and their granddaughter Sammy) for opening up their home to us while we rest in the Edmonton area.
