The wow factor



[the boys at the citidel]

Its Tuesday and the man upstairs decided to get the remainder of the precipitation out of the way prior to the ride.
Didn't stop us as we headed out into the streets of Halifax. But I'm not interested in talking about us. I'm interested in talking about the rest of the people who have decided to come to the party.

This party has been planned for 9 months now. Invitations went out early, the location was set, and the menu was outlined. RSVP's were slow to come initially and though there was some interest, not many people got back to us. Regardless, we remained focused and kept time, date etc all the same. 1 month passed.... and then the next until finally (1.5 months prior to the party) we began to worry that people may not come.

However, all any good party needs is a little pr and over the past month, we (and our GREAT supporters) have provided that pr and people have responded with a "WOW". From affected children dropping off cards of congratulations, to entire provinces rallying behind this group to the prime minister of Canada hearing about this epic ride and delegating representation - we will make this happen.

MILLIONS will see what we are doing.
MILLIONS will be inspired to help
MILLIONS will benefit from the collective effort

and people, collectively, that's a big WOW.

good for all of us.

Wow, indeed! I am so glad Global covered your take off from Vancouver. You're all doing an amazing thing!

I'm sending lots of bright and fast butterflies to help your ride be safe, timely and without any problems.

And, Willie, John and Teresa (formerly of Williams Lake) are cheering for you!
