Thanks to all who supported these projects by hosting a car wash in Windsor earlier this month. A special thanks to the Christian Horizons team members that organized it, worked hard washing cars and freely sacrificed their time and efforts....
Over 600 Dollars was raised for Guetemala, Ecador and Respite..... This will make a huge impact on children and adults in these areas!!!!!!!
Some other notes....
Training update: Finally! the first 10 pounds have come off! I know I have more to go, but figure that that is 10 pounds I don't have to carry for 325Kms!!!!

I could drive....... But........
Good morning, It is just after 5:30 am on a wonderful sunny Saturday morning... well, the sun isn't up yet but I have faith that when it is it will be great.... I have a board meeting at my church at 9 am this morning so I figured I'd get a taste of how it is to get up and walk today..... Oh, Ya.... I go to church in Ingersoll and I live in Woodstock. The church is about 13 kms away, in a car, only a 12 min drive, walking it will be 2.5 to 3 hours, so I'd better get going. I will let you know how it goes later, have a great day!
LATER.......
I made it.... it took me 2 hours 35 minutes (exactly what Google maps said it would). It was a challenge, I learned a lot about needing good shoes for this, I also learned that walking on the gravel shoulder is much different than treadmills and cross trainers.
6 am is a wonderful time of day, thought I'd share some picutres that I took along the way. Oh ya, and when my meeting was over, I walked about 2 kms back towards woodstock, before Sandi (my wife) picked me up.... Enjoy the pics.
Morning Fog lifting about 7am
The sun comming up in the fog.
Long, early morning shadows....
My path took me through Beachville.... The sign gives away it's claim to fame.....

GAME ON !!!!!!
Remember playing street hockey, or some other sport as a kid, and someone yelled “Game ON!” and everything changed, it was the start of the game, getting down to business!
Well, that is how I feel, GAME ON !!!! I had the opportunity to discuss the District Dash with our Global Ministry department and am just so encouraged and jazzed about the opportunities, challenges and impact that is before us.
Suffice to say for now that the passion to support these projects is growing every day! And there will be some great things happening in the near future as details will now be coming together about the walk (ie District Dash website, donations online, updates from Guatemala and Ecuador etc….)
Keep an eye on this blog…. You won’t want to miss a thing!
Thanks for all your support.... Dave
