THANKS to everyone - $22,134 to date

Starting to feel more comfortable.  Would like to thank everyone for the strength, support and love received on my journey.

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.

Had a good crossing PEI.  Welcomed in Borden by Fred and Marjorie.  Enjoyed conversation and beautiful supper.  Sent off with a big breakfast.

Had a good day to Rexton.  Thanks to Helene enjoyed great meal, converation and had a good sleep.

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.

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.

The most important things are hard to say - Riviere du loop was my last stop on this particular journey 2,147 kilometers.

The Most Important Things are Hard to Say

I 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.
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.
The battle never ends - when one journey ends another begins!
