Today was an odd and unusual day. I’m sick with a slight fever, a runny nose, and a cough – yuck! Cycle to Walk was supposed to present at Booth High School this morning, but we had to cancel. I’m very disappointed that we called the event off, because sharing the message of polio eradication, education, and rehabilitation with young people has been such a highlight of the Cycle to Walk campaign. I’ll try my best to re-schedule that presentation prior to leaving The Rock!

I spent the day in bed resting and drinking lots of fluids (Like I haven’t drank enough fluids over these past 171 days!). By late afternoon I felt well enough to meet with Mayor Dennis O’Keefe and City Council at a meeting in downtown St. John’s. The team was formally introduced, the campaign was formally acknowledged, and our efforts were applauded. Afterwards, most of the team headed to Rosemary and Ron’s place to enjoy another wonderful meal. Val Royle’s family has been so great to us since we arrived in town!

While everyone was chowing down, I did what the doctor ordered and went back home to rest for the night. Thanks to the City of St. John’s, and Val’s Family for continuing to make the team feel so welcome and supported!
