It was an amazing day, some of it told in the previous post.
The day started early and saying good bye to our hosts for the last 4 days, Ed and Carol Regts and their kids, Bailey, Brad and Mackenzie. It was particulary rough saying goodbye to my budy, Kenzie. She really understood, "Giggy" and tried hard to help her family understand how cool it is to be "giggy with that...." Ed, Carol .... you have an amazing family, Thank-you, not only for your support in this walk through First Family Homes, but for allowing us into your lives like this. You are amazing!
Then it was off to the starting point - just outside of Tilbury. We met up with Rebekah and Derek and Connie and Justin (thier mom and dad, who drove for us today)
About 12 k in we met up with Matt, Matt joined us from that point on, Wow did he ever lift our spirits, Thanks Matt. Although he did scare me, wheeling his chair direct into traffic, but he assured us that this was nothing for him! Matt will be back tomorrow for the final push to the finish line.
One gentleman saw us walking and wheeling along and asked if we needed help. we said no we needed money as we were fundraising. he gave me everthing he had in is wallet and then about 40 minutes later he showed up with more. God works in mysterious ways. Just got a call from someone 5 minutes ago, they were telling thier physiotherapist about the walk, and they donated right there and then. Thanks!
Another gentleman, saw us coming down the road and came out with a supply of ice cold Pepsi's for us. Thanks Mr. Kennedy!
We finaly ended about 3pm, at Puce Rd and hwy 24, this will be our starting point for tomorrow and we will trek the last 22 kms to the finish line. Can't wait!
The finish line will be 3pm or shortly after that at Heritage Park Alliance Church!
Blogging from Lunch Time!
