A salute to Terry Fox
- Thu, July 3, 2008
This morning was a time to honour a man who stands for hope, courage, determination, and selflessness. The team cycled from Marina Park and came together with supporters to celebrate Terry Fox at the monument that bears his name. We departed the Terry Fox monument inspired by his life, knowing that we can and we will realize the dream of a polio free world if we try.
Day 82 - Thunder Bay, Ontario - Non-Cycling
- Wed, July 2, 2008
Thanks to the organization of the Reverend Nancy Ringham, Cycle to Walk was able to spread the word about polio eradication, education, and rehabilitation to residents of the St. Joseph’s Care Group. At the end of the presentation, many of the residents told me they could recall fearing the threat of polio in the 1950s. It was great to visit with everyone, and thank you for your generous donations to the campaign.
Canada Day and Cycle to Walk in Whitehorse
- Wed, July 2, 2008
Cycle to Walk was out front and centre for Canada Day celebrations in Whitehorse. Enthusiastic board members, staff and children of all ages showed up to walk and ride in the parade and work our booth at Shipyards park. While the better part of the day was grey and rainy, there was no lack of participants and we had a great day overall. Many people stopped by our booth to give donations, have their pinkies painted purple and to buy wristbands and t-shirts in support of the campaign.
Day 81 - Canada Day in Thunder Bay!
- Tue, July 1, 2008
Today, the team was able to participate in spectacular Canada Day celebrations here in Thunder Bay, Ontario. While I’m 28 years old, today was my 25th Canada Day. The morning started with a scrumptious breakfast at the Reverend Nancy and Bill Ringham’s house. Supporters from various churches, Rotary clubs, the Thunder Bay Cycling Club, and other members of the community accompanied me for the cycle in to Thunder Bay. That hearty breakfast sure came in handy!

Today was a great day of promotions for the Cycle to Walk campaign. During a interview with Lisa Laco on CBC Radio One, she asked me if I’d had a chance to see the newspaper yet this morning. Cycle to Walk made front page! What a way to find out.
