Day 57 - Brandon, Manitoba - 52 km
- Sat, June 7, 2008
Today was a nice relaxing ride into the Brandon area. Residents of Brandon were introduced to the Cycle to Walk polio campaign on the air waves thanks to AM CKLQ 880 and STAR 94.7 FM. Thanks to both radio stations for the Cycle to Walk promotions. Many people honked their horns, gave a thumbs-up, and cheered as we approached the Brandon area. After an interview with CKX TV, the team enjoyed a leisurely evening with our hosts Linda Wilkins from the Post Polio Network of Manitoba, and Reverend Jim Brown and his wife Jackie from St. George’s Anglican Church.
With all the excitement of the campaign over these past couple of days, the team is in high spirits, though a bit tired. We will have a couple of non-cycling days in Brandon, however the important work of educating this community about Cycle to Walk’s message of polio eradication, education, and rehabilitation has just begun.
