Day 70 - Kenora, Ontario - Non-Cycling Day

by Ramesh Ferris, posted in Road Updates - Fri, June 20, 2008

Below are some of the questions from students I answered today while visiting Ecole Ste. Marguerite Bourgeoys here in Kenora. Today’s visit was my last school presentation until classes resume again in September. Thank you to everyone for showing so much interest in the Cycle to Walk today. It’s important that we all work together to educate others about polio and the need to get rid of it forever, and to assist polio survivors in poor countries.

Day 68 - Falcon Lake, Manitoba - 132 km (Record)

by Ramesh Ferris, - Wed, June 18, 2008

It has been wonderful to spend the last couple of days in the Winnipeg area. Today the team left the city with renewed energy and excitement to spread the Cycle to Walk message.

The temperature reached +27 making today the hottest I’ve ever hand-cycled in my life. It’s nice to hear the CB radios are working and truckers are talking to each other about Cycle to Walk. Mid-morning, the team reached the longitudinal centre of Canada - what a great accomplishment that was.

Day 67 - Winnipeg, Manitoba - Wrap Up!

by Ramesh Ferris, posted in Road Updates - Tue, June 17, 2008

We had originally decided for today to be a cycling day, however, the team collectively decided that it would be best to stay put in Winnipeg for just a little longer. We’re quickly approaching the longitudinal centre point of Canada, which is a very exciting milestone.  Kilometre-wise, we will reach our midpoint east of Thunder Bay, ON.

Day 66 - Winnipeg, Manitoba - Non-Cycling

by Ramesh Ferris, posted in Road Updates - Mon, June 16, 2008

What a jam-packed day here in Winnipeg. It started out with travels to Citytv for 7 am so Cycle to Walk could appear on the Breakfast Television morning show with John Ljungberg. At 10:00 am, Ari Lahdekorpi and Jackie Madden hosted a fundraising bake auction for Cycle to Walk at their RE/MAX professionals office. Cookies were eaten, donations were given, and connections to polio were shared. Thanks to everyone at RE/MAX for showing your support for Cycle to Walk. Perhaps your involvement will challenge other RE/MAX agents across Canada to show their support as well.
