Follow Ramesh's Journey

Today wraps up six days in a row of hand cycling that covered 377 km. The team is now in the Edmonton area for the next five days, and we will use this time to rest, restock, take care of some vehicle and bike maintenance, speak at schools, service clubs, and members of the government and media.  I’ll also be going in for a deep tissue massage.  Doug and Bertha are from this area and have lots of friends and family to visit with. We have all worked so hard as a team to get here, and I’m so proud to be a part of it. Thank you Doug, Bertha, Chris and Lynne. Yeah—we’re in Edmonton!

The team received such a warm welcome into the Edmonton area. We were escorted into town by two huge concrete cement pumper trucks provided by A&B Concrete Pumping. We were then greeted in the parking lot of All Weather Windows by President Gord Wiebe and 60+ workers who came out to show their support. Speeches were given, photos were taken, and cheques were presented to Cycle to Walk. Thanks Gord at All Weather Windows, Cacey Hutchinson at A&B Concrete Pumping, and Stephen Amonson from the Daytona Group of Companies for your generous sponsorships totalling $5000.00. Not only by your contributions are you assisting the campaign in its journey to spread the message of polio eradication, education, and rehabilitation, you’re sending the message that we must all work together as a country - and as global community - to rid the world of the horrible, paralyzing, fatal disease we call polio.

I hope that from the generosity of All Weather Windows, A&B Concrete Pumping and the Daytona Group of Companies, other corporations and small businesses will be inspired to follow suit and help us raise money to end polio, rehabilitate polio survivors, and educate Canadians about the importance of continued polio immunizations.
