Well the count down is on! Very busy days, but the energy from the crowds and the team keeps us fresh! Our final week was very eventful and also very emotional! We had some very prominant Medal Bearers. We met Rick's family, friends and colleagues! Exceptional people! Day 273, our final day was bitter sweet! It was hard to believe that this incredible journey had come to an end. Our final Medal Bearer, Amanda, was a young lady from Alberta who at 17 years old has already made incredible differences in her community! Amanda handed over the Medal to Rick at Terry Fox Plaza. The final exchange was very emotional! Our team shed many tears and shared many hugs over the final 3 days! When all was said and done, we attended Celebration 25. This was ... read more

Hello! Well, I know it has been awhile since we updated you all. Here it goes! This entry has 119 pics so make sure you give yourselves some time! British Columbia has been truly amazing! The reception from the communities has been fantastic! The scenery, well, words cannot describe. Just when you think that you have seen the most beautiful place on earth, you find another one! The relay has been going extremely well. The team is incredible. We are a well oiled machine! We now only have 37 days to go. We can't believe that this journey is almost over. As we get into the lower main land things are going to get crazy busy. This part of BC has been quite stress free so we have been able to enjoy many of the activities ... read more

Hi all! Hank and I finished our last relay day in Innisfail, AB. After the End of Day celebration we carried onto Red Deer to get our luggage and then drove to Leduc (Edmonton Airport) to head back east for our 1 week holiday. It was a very busy week, but great non the less! We got to visit all of the kids, grandkids, Hil and Pete, Carol, Randy and Nick, Patti and Brian, Jan, Vance and Ali, Joanie and Rick, Dawn and Mathew and even got a little cuddle in with Hemi!!! Sorry if I missed anyone! We definitely could have used a couple more days, but it is also good to get back to work with the Relay Family! We are on the home stretch! Love always, Weedie and Jeepa xoxoxoo....... read more

Hello folks! Before I start to ramble on, I want to let you know that there are some odd words and symbols etc. in the blog. I think this is because I copied and pasted from an email. I can't fingure out how to get rid of it without redoing the whole thing. Since I am off to work in 10 minutes, I am just going to ask for your forgiveness! Hope you enjoy the blog and hoping everyone is happy and well. Love as always, Weedie and Jeepa! xoxo We enjoyed Super Bowl Sunday in Regina. We had a room in the hotel and the whole team came. We started with a moving speech from Lonnie our endurance participant. He told the team about his accident in graphic detail. It was quite moving. I think ... read more
