Just before this trip started, my family was touched by MS. Seeing the symptoms of this disease greatly effected me, and as a result I have decided to start raising money for the MS Society of BC. This money will go towards finding ways to mitigate symptoms, and hopefully finding a cure for MS.
I've set a reasonable goal of $2500 for the remainder of the trip, but with your help I hope to surpass this.
Please help me by donating to the MS Society of BC here.
Many thanks!
Dave
As always, this trip still gives me a large amount of personal satisfaction. Right now I'm in Regina ... where you only have to look across the street for cars on a four lane road to stop in both directions. During a rest day today I explored the parks and downtown, and took a tour of the legislature.
The ride from Moose Jaw was quite a difficult 70km, with a headwind, hail, and lots of rain. There was enough rain to somehow get into my cycling computer and cause it to reset! Thankfully I was riding with Pierre-Paul and Rachel, and we were able to help each other through it.

When Pierre-Paul got a flat there just happened to be a farmhouse right beside us ... the only one for miles! It was convenient timing since it gave us an excuse to take shelter from a thunderstorm!Cheers,

ReplyDeleteHi Dave, it takes a strong and directed person to be on the trip, even more so when something like MS shows up in your family. You are a good man. JPP

ReplyDeletemy niece has MS (thankfully so far in remission). Your sharing reminded me it's time to make my donation. Enjoying the blog. We only think of the riding in sun on level ground - your venture will be a lifetime achievement.
