Would like to thank everyone for the strength, support and love received on my journey.<br />
<br />
In particular, I want to mention the celebration in Pictou County; I gave a necktie pin to my sister inlaw who presenter her neighbour with the pin whose father passed away with prostate cancer. Thank you Norman and Susan.<br />
<br />
Had a good crossing PEI. Welcomed in Borden by Fred and Marjorie. Enjoyed conversation and beautiful supper. Sent off with a big breakfast.<br />
<br />
Had a good day to Rexton. Thanks to Helene enjoyed great meal, converation and had a good sleep.<br />
<br />
My good friends in Robinsonville who I wined and dined with and enjoyed the great stories from the old days. Sent off early in the morning with a hearty breakfast from the local restaurant. Sent off with love and god speed and before I knew it, was picked up by John Connely in Edmundston, NB.<br />
<br />
Enjoyed evening with John, Donna, the Connely family and Donna's brother and his wife. Early morning start and repairs at bike shop and headed off to Riviere du loop, Quebec.<br />
<br />
<strong>The most important things are hard to say</strong> - Riviere du loop was my last stop on this particular journey 2,147 kilometers.Gary - It's about smiling, strengthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12467267124637675162noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5409462023794570072.post-30760099979737412582015-07-05T15:34:00.003-07:002015-07-05T15:34:54.633-07:00The Most Important Things are Hard to SayI struggled from the beginning and I am not sure which is worse; the mental or physical. The not so good news is the disappointment of not completing my goal, however, the good news is I biked 2,147 kilometers and up to date "we" raised over $21,000.<br />
I have an internal hemorrhoid. Obviously I did not rest enough before continuing the journey and again the blood vessel grew and made it uncomfortable not only to walk, but to bike. Will check in with the doctor this coming week. What I have done, I am proud of, however, I will not continue.<br />

On Friday evening, Dad stayed with his brother, Norm, in New Glasgow. Mom, April and I decided a girls road trip was in need and went to visit dad in New Glasgow. Dad advised that something did not feel right, but decided to continue journey hoping he would feel better. After we left to head home, we received a phone call from dad asking us to turn around and come pick him up. He was coming home. He went straight to emergency and spent the night waiting to see a physician. He has a hemorrhoid as big as his index finger with a few smaller ones. Dad is going to continue his journey once he heals, but unfortunately, we do not know how long that will take. If you don't know what a hemorrhoid is, it is a broken blood vessel from straining. The winds were so strong in Newfoundland to cause this. Dad will continue his journey and we will keep you posted as to his recovery. Thank you to everyone who has offered accommodations. We will stay in touch with you all!!Gary - It's about smiling, strengthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12467267124637675162noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5409462023794570072.post-44465481215040969152015-06-17T13:02:00.002-07:002015-06-17T13:02:27.326-07:00Wednesday, June 17, 2015Dad made it to the ferry last night. He started his day in Nova Scotia with the sun shining. He is on his way to Whycocomaugh to stay with a friend. Tomorrow he is off to Antigonish and on Friday off to New Glasgow to stay with his brother.<br />
Newfoundland was a challenge. The wind was huge and it rained every day. Yesterday the wind knocked dad and his bike around. He clipped out of his peddles and landed on his feet - yeah!! Dad left Newfoundland injury free!Gary - It's about smiling, strengthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12467267124637675162noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5409462023794570072.post-39442311420184468002015-06-15T17:10:00.000-07:002015-06-15T17:10:36.630-07:00I am sure everyone is wondering how dad is doing. The weather has been terrible since he started his journey. It has been raining and cold. On the up side he had someone stop him on the side of the road who is a cancer survivor and asked him to spend the night with him in Bishop Falls to chat. Dad did so he did not make his destination to South Brooks Saturday evening. He made it South Brooks yesterday and tonight he is in Corner Brook.<br />
Today was good once the rain stopped and he felt good and was making good time, however as he went into Deer Lake he got a flat tire and thought he would be spending the night in Deer Lake. This couple, Dick and Heather Cooper, saw him and offered him a ride to Corner Brook where he met up with his host. Tomorrow morning dad is off to the bike store as he thinks there is a problem with his rim and then heading to the ferry. Hopefully tomorrow night he will be off the Rock.<br />
<br />
This means his schedule is currently off by a day, but dad is hoping to make up some time in Nova Scotia. Will keep you posted!<br />

This time he is heading East to West. Dad was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer a couple of years ago and once again he is cycling to support and raise awareness for Thyroid Cancer as well as Prostate Cancer. Dad is having someone join him on his ride from Ottawa to Thunder Bay. If you can open your home and give him a meal, shower and bed for the night it would be appreciated. Please email me to confirm accommodation.</span></span><br />

Riding for faith and hope with attitude East to West! Okay "I agree" so lets give 100% passion at giving back. At age 70 $70,000 no matter how small or large it is important for cancer research.</div>

Just as it ended in 2010 in St. John's, Newfoundland, we will begin a new journey by dipping the bike tire in the Atlantic Ocean, June 13, 2015, going from East to West to raise awareness for cancer.</div>

Here I go again, five years later, biking for cancer. It is important that we express ourselves and our strengths.</div>

"New" Thyroid Oncology Clinic(ITOC) patient and family information centre launched December 7, 2012. Gary Jones, a Thyroid cancer survivor from Halifax, inspired patients across the country when he cycled solo from Victoria BC to Halifax, and then to Newfoundland, to raise funds for Thyroid Cancer Awareness and Research at the QE11. Gary's donatin is helping to create a new Patient Information Centre to help Thyroid patients and their families better understand their diagnosis. The centre will include an online information tool that patients can access at the clinic and from home to learn about their disease and treatment options. An opening ceremony, unveiling and a dedication to Gary was held on December 7, 2012 at the QE11. Thanks to Gary Jones for his commitment to making a difference. Among other benefits, this project supported by the funds Gary raised, will greatly increase Thyroid Cancer Awareness and provide a resource for patient education.<br />

Dad (Gary) presented cheques to the Canadian Cancer Society and QEII Foundation, Thyroid Oncology in the amount of $16,816.15 each. The Hall was full (standing room only) and dad picked the church to present the cheques to say a BIG THANK YOU to the community for their support during his journey across Canada.<br />
<br />
April and I surprised Dad with our own special presentation.<br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-size: x-small;">We have a little surprise for dad. He has given out butterflies all across Canada to raise awareness for thyroid cancer. We have one that we would like to give dad to remember his journey across Canada. His journey across Canada was met with quite a few struggles with a lot of rains, high winds, and even snow. He continued to cycle daily and even though he enjoyed the beautiful countryside, this was not a holiday. He was out there to raise awareness and funds for cancer research.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-size: x-small;">We know that dad was overwhelmed with the task he was taking on, but thinking about all of the people who are struggling and fighting for their lives, he put his own fears aside and went out there and cycled everyday no matter the weather. He met new people and brought communities together and it was an inspiration to us to read the comments on the blog from the people who lives dad touched and became a part of. How you left a mark on a lot of people and you were always smiling.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></em><em> </em><em><span style="font-size: x-small;">Our dad always says that he is made of steel but as we found out on his last day of his journey that steel does bend and bleed, but regardless of his injuries he continued and finished stronger because we believe that his aches and pains were like he was carrying everyone's pain and struggles with him to the end of his journey.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-size: x-small;">We love you and are soooo proud of you dad, you have always been our hero but you are a hero to everyone else as well.</span></em><br />

<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">First thing I want to say is a big congrats to Gary and Brian for the trip across Newfoundland and especially to you Gary for completing the full cross Canada journey! Wow, wow! You are truly an inspiration for sure. Which is why I chose to say a few words about our experience of hosting you at our Church service on Aug. 15. Our minister was away and as part of the worship committee I volunteered to do the sermon that day. I only hope that I was accurate in the information about and that I was able to give people a picture of "Gary Jones". </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Take care of those scrapes and put us on the list waiting to buy your book when you get it written!!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
Best regards,</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Barb and Gordie</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">IT’S ALL ABOUT SMILING</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;"></span></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">How many of you have ever heard of Gary Jones? A couple! Well, hopefully when you leave here you will at least feel you have a sense of the essence of Gary Jones. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">Gary Jones is married, he is a father and grandfather. He lives in Timberlea and is a dedicated member of Trinity United Church, volunteering at suppers, and BBQ’s and Truckers’ Breakfasts as part of the work of his church and community. He is retired now at 65, but worked as a trucker for 38 years, the last number of years for Russel Metals Inc. He had thyroid cancer in 1997, had his thyroid removed, received treatment and is now a cancer survivor. He is a cyclist. Actually that is an understatement!! He has a passion for cycling!! Now you have a few pieces of factual information about Gary, but that barely scratches the surface of “Gary Jones”. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">After his thyroid cancer and his subsequent recovery from that, Gary had a growing ambition to do something to raise awareness and money for thyroid cancer research – to give something back as he puts it. As he was approaching retirement, he began to make plans to bicycle across Canada for just this purpose. He set up a blogspot and with the support of his family and friends, he began to see his vision come to reality. His plan was to be “hosted” at homes along the route from Victoria, BC, to Nova Scotia. He spread the word through his blogspot, his church, and his employer’s branches across the country, inviting families to host him – to provide a good meal, a hot shower and eight hours of sleep, with a hearty breakfast to see him off on the road in the morning. He mapped out his route across the country, listing all the stops along the way and gradually the hosts began to offer their hospitality to him. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">His employer, Russel Metals made every effort to support him in his endeavor, right down to paying to fly Gary and his bike to Victoria when another transportation plan had fallen through; and paying the tab for his hotels and his meals, on the dates that he didn’t have a host along the way. In each of the communities where there was a branch of Russel Metals, he was warmly welcomed and his cause was generously supported. Before Gary left Halifax, Russel Metals, at their expense, made 45, (plus a few extras), butterflies out of stainless steel for him to present to each of his hosts along the way. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">Did you know that the butterfly is the official symbol for Thyroid cancer research? I did not know this until he presented us with this butterfly on his last night on the road. Russel Metals went above and beyond to lend him their support, which in this day and age of corporate cut-backs, downsizing, and bottom line profit margins, that speaks very highly of Russel Metals as a company and of the care they have for their employees. It also speaks volumes of Gary’s dedication as an employee, as he said “not many people retire and still have an expense account with their employer.” He had hauled steel for 38 years, starting out with 22 wheels and then going to 18 wheels driving east to west, now he was going to head out on his dream adventure on two wheels, Hauling Hope, Faith and Attitude!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">Through Eascan Building Supplies, Gordie came to know Gary a number of years ago as the delivery man that everyone looked forward to seeing, because “no matter how bad your day might be going, a few minutes with Gary and you were uplifted and encouraged.” In Gary’s last months of driving for Russel Metals he kept the guys updated on his plans for this adventure and his enthusiasm rubbed off on the people he talked to; as a result financial support was generous and when Gordie asked him if he had a host for his last night of the trek, which would be in Truro, Gary replied that he did not…so.. the Miller household became his host for that night.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">So this is how I was granted the privilege and honour of spending some time with this remarkable and truly inspirational man. We logged onto his blogspot and saved it in our Favorites, and each night from May 15 through to June 29, we would check on Gary’s progress, read the update that his daughter Christina faithfully added each day, usually with a photo and a little info about still another Tim Horton’s that Gary had visited for his Tim’s coffee along the way. We would see the Fund Barometer rising as he made his way East and we would read about how far he had traveled that day, the weather he had to contend with and the difficulty or ease of the ride, through mountains, hills, snow, rain, heat, distance, but always the blog ended with Gary’s motto, It’s all about the smiles and strength, and you’re having a good day when you’re going downhill! I’m pretty sure that some days it seemed like there were no downhills, but according to Gary there were no bad days. He would start each day with gratitude for the hosts’ hospitality, or the company’s generosity for hotels and meals. As he cycled along he would think about all the people who loved him and all the folks who were supporting him in his dream. He would talk with God and he would just keep on moving, keep on smiling, because there were no obstacles for him, just opportunities to experience this wonder, to live out this dream, and to meet people and hear their stories.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">Gary completed his journey across this country, inspiring people in every community he stopped in, and we had a wonderful evening with him listening to his story told in his incredibly humble and uplifting way. Gordie commented to him that evening how lucky he was to still have the health to make this trip which he’d planned for so long and to that he responded, “there was never any doubt in my mind that I would do this”. To Gary there was just no thought of ‘can’t’ or ‘give up’ on this dream. When he arrived here, after having cycled almost 4500 miles, he did not seem to be one bit tired or worn down, not an ache or a blister to complain about. He was just incredibly grateful for God’s grace and strength for the journey, our hospitality, which he couldn’t thank us enough for; according to him, this was truly a wonderful thing we were doing for him, supporting him on his journey by opening our home to him. Well all I can say is we were the ones who benefited most from that evening of hospitality – no question about that in my mind. Anyone can cook a simple meal for someone and offer them a bed and a shower, but it takes truly special people like Gary to graciously and humbly enter into a family home, bringing a sense of awe and admiration for his strength of spirit, yet make you feel as if you are spending time with an old and dear friend. </span><br />

I said “Gary, this is for Lindsay, she will be riding with you today”. Lindsay was a very dear friend of our son and daughter in law’s who had passed away in February with cancer and she had told everyone that she wanted lots of gerbera daisies at her service, as many as they could find! So we planted gerbera daisies in her honor in our flower pots this spring. Gary was concerned that this daisy would fall off or blow away, and we said that’s fine, if it’s meant to stay for the whole drive it will! We gave him a send off from the NSCC where his son in law and another cyclist joined him to ride the last leg of the journey with him. As they biked along that day other cyclists joined him at times and when he arrived in Halifax at Point Pleasant Park two of his grandsons joined him to go the final few metres where he dipped his bicycle wheels in the Atlantic Ocean. There were Russel Metal trucks and drivers lined up to blast their horns and welcome him home from this incredible dream adventure. Lindsay’s daisy was still with him and he released it into the Atlantic Ocean. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">I hope I’ve been able to convey to you a glimpse of the spirit and determination and compassion of Gary Jones; persevering in the task he set out for himself with faith and joy and gratitude; caring for everyone he meets and some that he’s never met – a role model for youth, and an inspiration for all. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">Gary would be the first to tell you that he is a basic, ordinary working man, a husband and father who struggled with raising a family while spending time on the road away from that family in order to provide for them financially. </span><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">This experience has convinced both Gordie and I that it is truly a blessing when folks get to meet a Gary Jones on their journey. Because Gary Jones is not alone in this league of people who inspire and uplift and encourage folks along the way in their life journeys. I’d be willing to bet that we can all think of a Gary Jones in our lives, someone who has inspired and encouraged us along the way, not out of duty or honour, or even to promote a cause, but for no other reason than it’s what they do, it’s who they are, it’s how they live their lives. Ordinary folks from an ordinary small community, where perhaps relatively few people will recognize and remember their name or their face, but you can rest assured those few people in all those ordinary communities across our country and even around the world, will definitely remember the impact of that person, that source of inspiration. </span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">Stop for a moment and think about your Gary Jones, and say a silent prayer of thanks for the circumstance which afforded you the opportunity to cross paths with that person…. In Gary Jones’ words: </span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

He is fine as you can see in the video, but he has a bit of road rash on his arm and leg. To find the positive in the fall, it was his last day and Brian was with him. After it had happened, a car stopped and asked if they were ok. It was an off duty police officer. Needless to say, Brian and him know some of the same people. The off duty police officer must of told the RCMP because a few drove by and checked in with dad and Brian to see if they were ok or needed anything.

They have been swimming in the lakes along the way and resting on top of picnic tables to dry off.<br />
<br />
Yesterday they had a good ride. A few good hills to climb. They arrived at Tanker Inn last evening ready for a nice relaxing evening. THANK YOU to Russel Metals St. John's who donated the accommodations. A BIG THANK YOU to two gentlemen who paid for supper last evening as their donation to dad's journey.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow morning at 9 am they will be at the Terry Fox Monument in St. John's and dad will dip his wheel in the ocean.

The local chapter of the Canadian Cancer Society had some survivors on hand to welcome them to town. They were escorted to their hosts by a fire truck where community and church members were on hand to meet them and have a bite to eat. The United Church minister and the Mayor were on hand and had a chance to have a nice chat. A BIG THANK YOU to Natalie Hagerty and her parents who hosted dad and Brian last evening.<br />
<br />
The UCC minister on the Campbellton Pastoral Charge, Betty Robbins lives in Loon Bay which is approximately 30 km away from the TCH at the turn-off for Lewisporte. She rearranged her day so she would be able to meet up with dad and Brian yesterday. She flagged them down just east of Appleton and gave a donation. A HUGE THANK YOU!<br />
<br />
The weather yesterday was cloudy with showers. They stopped at a tourist bureau to sign the guest book and it just started to pour. They waited out the rain for 30 minutes and when they left it was wet, but they were dry.<br />
<br />
Today they are on their way to Come By Chance. They have approximately 157km today.

</div>Yesterday was a beautiful day for a bike ride. They took the time to stop at Grand Lake (picture) for a swim and to wash their clothes. Off they went feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Dad stopped at a store to get a bottle of water and upon entering he heard "so your the guy." Dad was told that they had heard his daughter on the radio outlining his journey. (My 30 seconds of fame). Dad was handed a few donations and received quite a few honks as they were cycling.<br />
<br />
Today dad and Brian are off to Gambo approximately 25 miles (47 km) east of Gander. The original destination was to be Gander, but there is a member of Trinity United whose parents live in Gambo and she and her family are in Gambo for a visit and invited dad and Brian to spend the evening.

The weather stayed with them, but it was definitely on the hot side. They went through quite a bit of water and gatorade.<br />
<br />
Yesterday they were greeted in Port aux Basques by Cordell and his wife. Cordell works for Russel Metals and they both had big smiles. Now remember this would have been around 4:30 am and yes they were greeted with smiles.<br />

Dad is completing his "true cross Canada journey" and is now in Newfoundland. Russel Metals in St. John's is making this possible as they extended an invitation to dad to come to Newfoundland and are supporting him in his journey. Also, Brian (my husband) decided to take the time and cycle with dad across Newfoundland. Brian had cycled down Vancouver Island as part of Cops for Cancer when we lived in Victoria, BC and is quite excited to be part of dad's journey to raise awareness for thyroid cancer. When Brian cycled Vancouver Island it was called "Tour de Rock." He is wearing his Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock cycling shirt, shorts, & jacket and it is only fitting as he is cycling the Rock on the East Coast.<br />
<br />
Dad and Brian ended up getting on an earlier ferry than anticipated and arrived in Port aux Basques around 3 am this morning. Their plan: hang out at Tim Hortons until daylight to start their journey. I heard from them around 10 am and they were already 80km into their ride. Today they are cycling 220km to Corner Brook. The weather is sunny and the wind is calm - great day for cycling! When they were at Tim's this morning they heard about dad on the news. As well, he made the front page of the VOCM Newspaper. <a href="http://www.vocm.com/newsarticle.asp?mn=2&id=8325">http://www.vocm.com/newsarticle.asp?mn=2&id=8325</a><br />

VOCM also has an open line show on the radio. I am going to call in tomorrow afternoon to give an update. The show time is 2 to 4 pm. You can listen live on their website. <a href="http://www.vocm.com/index.asp">http://www.vocm.com/index.asp</a> The buzz has started in Newfoundland.
