First-hand Testimonials

My journey and memory from Vancouver to Halifax with the amazing group of people, that so happen to become friends after being just a stranger. After every twists and turns of events, they’ve found themselves growing closer together. Hence, got to know each other more than they expected. Like a flower that blooms in a garden, though they are totally different from each other they blossom beautifully together. With color and life, they spread happiness to anyone who wants to see it.

One team, One journey, One goal……….to put an end to Kids Cancer!!!

I found it a interesting study in human nature that you can bring together “strangers” and how in a short period of time they can come together as a team and as we all said , “our Road family”!! It was the same with many of the small communities we were invited into along the journey, many times it felt like we had been invited to a family supper; the kindness and compassion shown by strangers was memorable. One can have in the course of a lifetime, what might measure as “small moments”, just two weeks out of your life but leaves you with “forever” memories!!
