Day 170 - St. John’s, NL - Non-Cycling

imageThis morning the team shared the message of Cycle to Walk with members of Cochrane Street United Church. It was an extra-special visit, as I was able to speak with children during their Sunday school class. It always brightens my day when a child smiles after seeing what Cycle to Walk is doing to help end polio. When Sunday school was over, I overheard a child ask her mom whether she had received the polio vaccination when she was young. Thank-you to everyone we met this morning for your kind words of support, your donations, and for giving us the opportunity to share the message with you.
Now, how does one pack six months of life into a suitcase? It’s simple: you ask Val Royle to lead a group of hard-working family members to get the job done. The team spent the entire afternoon cleaning out the motor home, the SUV, and the trailer. Our hard work was rewarded at the end of the day with a wonderful meal prepared by Val’s sister-in-law Dana.

If you know anyone that’s in the market to purchase a motor home or trailer, please contact us – the office would be happy to discuss the details with you. I can’t thank Val and her family enough for all of their help today – especially Leah and Noah. All that cleaning may have been hard work today, but we had a lot of fun!
