The Riders made an unscheduled stop yesterday. They were asked at the last minute if they could come to a Reserve and talk to a group of kids. Usually the scheduling is so tight that this would have to be a no go, and it is tight, but for this time they said yes. So a small group went and the kids were so impressed with Josh! It meant so much to this small community. The rider’s too were very much honored to be asked to go.

That’s one of the things I love about this charity is that it reaches out to small communities who would otherwise be looked over. Cancer doesn’t discriminate.. it has hit this community as well and to have someone from outside come and spend time is something they will remember for a long time!

Thanks guys!

• This place (Terry Fox Memorial) evokes immediate feelings – many stood quietly, hugged, shed tears, recalled families members and friends who have lost their battle or are battling cancer. We gathered around Mike Smith who shared the significance and importance of Terry Fox and why we ride. Read more of Neil Mitchell’s blog post
• Today we ride for Quinn and the far too many untold stories across Canada. Children fighting to live life, parents desparately searching, seeking, praying and drying for help. Scientists digging deep to research and identify genes and thrapise to extend and save lives. Doctors developing and delivering therapise and protocols. Nurses on the front lines administering medication, providing hope and love to children in the midst of pain and exhaustion. Read more of Neil Mitchell’s blog post
