Follow Ramesh's Journey

The first thing we did this morning was take a trip to the hospital to remove my cast. Yeah! After an assessment, I was told to take care when walking, to wrap my ankle with Tensor Bandages, and to wear a supportive walking shoe for the next couple of weeks. From the Brandon Hospital it was off to St. George`s Anglican Church where I caught the tail-end of the service and had an opportunity to spread the message of Cycle to Walk with the Reverend Jim Brown and his parishioners.

Today was a nice relaxing ride into the Brandon area. Residents of Brandon were introduced to the Cycle to Walk polio campaign on the air waves thanks to AM CKLQ 880 and STAR 94.7 FM. Thanks to both radio stations for the Cycle to Walk promotions. Many people honked their horns, gave a thumbs-up, and cheered as we approached the Brandon area. After an interview with CKX TV, the team enjoyed a leisurely evening with our hosts Linda Wilkins from the Post Polio Network of Manitoba, and Reverend Jim Brown and his wife Jackie from St. George’s Anglican Church.

Today was just a beautiful day of dreams. The Cycle to Walk team started its day saying goodbye to our new friends, Audrey & Jim at Cornerhouse B&B. Thanks Audrey the great breakfast! Indian Head High School invited Cycle to Walk to share its message of Polio Eradication, Education, and Rehabilitation with students. A young man excitedly shared his dream of cycling across Canada when he is older to raise funds and awareness for a cause. I encouraged him to remain focused and positive, and wish that he, too, will be able to achieve his dreams.
