Day 32 - Edmonton, Alberta - Non-Cycling Day

by Ramesh Ferris, posted in Road Updates - Tue, May 13, 2008

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.
