Thanks,
My blogs have had common themes…our time is upon us…training is tuff.
This train is not stopping and it will soon be our time to shine. To lead and challenge ourselves across Canada. With glowing torches we will push ourselves through the night. A source of light for those who must deal with Juvenile Diabetes everyday of their lives. It will be our time to step up to the plate after months of planning and many others pushing the pace just to get us ready for this epic journey.
Behind us we are so lucky to have as many volunteers as we have. Behind those volunteers are our personal friends and family who are supporting us along the way. Each of these special people has felt our commitment first hand.
As an example, I personally have only seen my Dad a handful of times this year. Each time we see each other it’s special, but because of the training and my tight schedule, our time together is far and few between. But every time we’re featured in some print, radio or television he’ll call me up and tell me that he’s proud of me and that he is looking forward to riding into Stanley Park with us. He reads my blogs and always sends an email with a compliment. Thanks Dad! Your unconditional support helps keep me focused.
I also have a sister and a Mother. My sister is super busy and our relationship is very special to me. She is usually flying around the world or busy downtown She too always sends me a note or calls me with a coffee in hand as she’s getting on a plane half way around the world. She’s my big sister and when she calls me and tells me how impressed she is of me for taking on so much it makes me want to try harder and be the best brother I can be. Thanks Erika!
My Mum has faired a bit better in terms of visits. She lives close to my work and therefore has been playing a major role in supporting me during this busy time. I try to spend a night at her house every couple weeks. Wonderful conversation, food, convenient laundry and peace. I couldn’t imagine attempting such a huge undertaking without her support. Thanks Mum!
I am so lucky to have my health and to have been given the opportunity to give back. A short timeline of extra effort in the grand scheme of things. I mean, how hard is this really? Not that difficult. We all sacrifice, I guess it’s where and when do you want to do it and how much effort one will put towards it.
So, what are you going to do? How about telling 10 friends and asking them to tell 10 friends etc. You’ve heard it before and it’s really no big deal. We are changing history and you are now apart of that by reading this blog. Help us push the pace and don’t let this message stop here.
Thanks!
