Day 77 - Kakabeka Falls, Ontario - 111 km
- Fri, June 27, 2008
I’ve been to this place many times before and there’s always a special feeling in the air. Times have changed since my last visit, but I’ve arrived at Kakabeka Falls with the love of my life – my 27-speed hand cycle and the message of Cycle to Walk.
Day 76 - Upsala, Ontario - 104 km
- Thu, June 26, 2008
Al Johnston, an enthusiastic Cycle to Walk supporter, paid the team a second visit this morning. We met up with Al and his wife Kathy last week when they welcomed the team to Ontario at the provincial border. Kathy sent her best to all of us, as she wasn’t able to join us this time around. Al and Kathy, you two have been great supporters of the cause, and it means a lot to me.
Day 75 - Ignace, Ontario - 110 km - 3000 km
- Wed, June 25, 2008
We hit the 3000 km mark of the campaign this morning in Wabigoon, ON, and we are so energized by this milestone. Campaign headquarters has just informed us that the total value of contributions to date is just over $211,000. There’ll be more where that came from: Bertha was busy counting up donations today.
Day 74 - Dryden, Ontario - 42 km
- Tue, June 24, 2008
I’m so happy that my body is standing up to the challenges of the Cycle to Walk tour. I finally took the support wrap off of my ankle today, and it feels great! It seems as though the longer I’m on the road, the healthier and stronger I feel. Today I hand cycled half the way to Dryden from Vermilion Bay without taking a break (23 km). Perhaps not seeing a Lynx, or any other wild animal for that matter, gave me the extra boost I needed!
Day 73 - Vermilion Bay, Ontario - 92 km
- Mon, June 23, 2008
This morning started off with a nice 30 km hand cycle towards Vermilion Bay fueled by another gourmet breakfast served by our hosts, Larry and Marilyn Buhler. The team then headed back to Kenora to attend a noon meeting at the Kenora Rotary Club. Thank you to President Jim Retson and everyone at the Kenora Rotary Club for your donations, and for the support you have shown to us over these past couple of days. Before we said goodbye to Kenora and carried forth on our journey, we stopped for groceries and a bank deposit before checking bus schedules to arrange for Chris to travel ahead of the team and assist with preparations for Thunder Bay.
Day 72 - Kenora, Ontario - Non-Cycling Day
- Sun, June 22, 2008
The Very Reverend Hugh Matheson and St. Alban’s Anglican Cathedral warmly welcomed the Cycle to Walk team this morning as part of its community waffle house fundraiser for the church. Thanks to everyone for supporting the Cycle to Walk by donating and by purchasing t-shirts. While I was at the booth, a couple who used to live in the Yukon, Murray and Carol Morison, approached me and said they both appreciated all the work that was being done by Cycle to Walk.
