I think my calendar for September ( and maybe October) might be filled up today...good thing I'm retired. Truly, your interest in this adventure and words of encouragement are so appreciated. Love you.”

  “Thanks for this Ellen. We spent three years to the day at Sick Kids Hospital with Melodina our daughter who you are riding in memory of. Cancer Kids are my heros. What they go through is amazing yet they show compassion and care for others as we all should. Bless you and your ride. It is important.”

  “Thank you so much James and Indira for your very generous donation. I have such positive memories of Melodina's and Mikaela's friendship. I remember getting updates via Mikaela on Mel's SickKids journey and the pride Mikaela had of Mel being a patient spokesperson for SK. You are very correct when you say these kids are real heros. They fight so hard...much harder than i will ever fight in my life. Hopefully on day soon, this disease will be a thing of the past....until then i will keep riding. Thanks again.”

I have developed a passion for cycling since we have been here (good exercise for my bad knees). There are a lot of nice quiet backroads to discover. If you are ever out this way, we'd love to see you. Say hi to Erin and the boys for me. Thanks again.”

For the past two years, my goal has been to cycle 1km for every $ donated and anyone who donated, get their special day with a shout out on my ride. I will try to ride 30-40 km a day, so hopefully the weather will cooperate. I hope life is treating you well and that you are enjoying your well earned summer break. Merci encore!”
