Brrrrr.....Hi all! Leaving Ontario we finally saw the sun, but we had to pay for it dearly with sub-zero temperatures! We had our end of day celebration in a small town east of Winnipeg called Ste. Anne. After the celebration we headed into Winnipeg. Our hotel was right downtown on Portage very close to Main. The following two days were non-relay days. We reluctantly ventured outdoors to do some maintenance jobs and some accessability research for our Global Accessability Map. www.rickhansenglobalaccessibilitymap.comThe temps were -30 degrees before the windchill! After the two days the relay started back up again in Ste. Anne bringing the Medal to the Forks in Winnipeg. Still very cold! Rick is back with us. It is great to have him on the road with us again! We had great entertainment at our End ... read more

Happy New Year everyone! Well Hank and I just finished our Christmas vacation. We started with a yummy Christmas Eve dinner at the Savile's in St. Mary's with all of our children, spouses and grandchildren. Hank and I were very fortunate to be able to spend the night there and wake up bright and early to watch Alanna and Jacob open up their presents from Santa! We spent the rest of Christmas day with John, Julie and the kids. Another great dinner! Boxing Day was hosted this year by the Corns. Lots of friends, family, food and bevies as usual! The next day Hank and I headed up to Chatsworth where we rented the Chatty Farmhouse for 10 days. It was very nice and well equipped. It even came with our own toboggan hill. I have ... read more

Hello from Sudbury! After a long stay in Kitchener, we headed to Orangeville. We were able to swing it between my boss, my BFF and I to have Carol ride along with me in the Motorhome. Hank and I started this week driving vehicles on the main convoy. After the incredible End of Day Celebration that Orangeville put on with us, Hank and I and 4 other team mates went to the Rowntrees for a fabulous deep fried everthing dinner, drinks and as always, lots of laughs. Thank you again Rowntrees and Smiths for your hospitality. I got to have a little visit with Hemi while I was there! Smiths are doing a great job fostering our little guy! He looked great and very happy! After a short visit in Orangeville, we carried on the Relay ... read more

Hi again! I know it has been awhile since I updated our journey but I couldn't get into my blog account for some strange reason. Also, I am going to miss a small segment of the last of Quebec because I was without a camera for a few days. We had some amazing experiences from Montreal to Gatineau. After our day of work in St. Jerome, one of our team members arranged a team dinner at a "Sugar Shack". The maple syrop farm was really cool. I wish I had pictures. We had a traditional dinner served to us which included alot of maple syrop. Our first course was pea soup. Mom and Dad, I actually ate it and enjoyed it! Fresh baked bread, pork pate, pickled onions and beets, deep fried bacon, maple hot dogs, ... read more
