Going through rehabilitation can be painful, depressing, and lonely, and sometimes it’s hard to put on a smile. Today we visited Canada’s largest children’s rehabilitation centre, Bloorview Kids Rehab, and were greeted by many smiling faces. Andrea, the organization’s communications coordinator, worked with the Cycle to Walk team to ensure that we could share our message with some of the kids and staff.

Today started off great, and just kept getting better! As I was having breakfast, I saw that Cycle to Walk got some coverage in the Toronto Star. I headed back to the residence at Wycliffe College and the receptionist showed me that Cycle to Walk had made front page of Metro Toronto as well. The Cycle to Walk campaign had some great opportunities to share its message with so many leaders, and others in the Toronto area today. The team travelled to Queen’s Park and had a wonderful visit with The Honourable David C. Onley, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario. His Honour took the time to find out how each of the road team members got involved with the Cycle to Walk, expressed his support for the campaign, and thanked everyone for their efforts in raising awareness about the importance of eradicating polio. Thank you so much, Your Honour, for taking the time to meet with the team. It’s inspirational for me to visit with other polio survivors such as yourself who have remained positive and focused on strengths and abilities to become successful leaders. You are a great role model.

Well, family has always been important to me, so I visited my Aunt Marian, Uncle John, and Gram this morning with my brother Matt and sister-in-law Lynda. After a great visit, Matt, Lynda and I met the team at the ferry terminal and we headed to Toronto Island for the afternoon. Chris’ hard work paid off and our Toronto Island trip attracted a number of media hits as both Global News and Citytv took the time to visit with us and learn more about the Cycle to Walk campaign.
