A Quick Note Tonight!
A first crew meeting, a training update, and a new place to follow the crossing.
Well, I think I am finally starting to feel a bit better after being sick for almost two weeks. I still do not have my full strength, as my results at a swim meet in Ancaster today showed, but I am getting back into training. Thanks to Norfolk County, I have been able to add between two and four hours of training a week at the Annaleise Carr Aquatic Centre, which still is awkward to say or write.
I wanted to write something quick tonight because it has been so long. We had our first Annaleise’s Radical Crossing 2.0 crew meeting last night at the Norfolk Public Library in Simcoe. What an awesome time and an awesome group. Today, one of my pacers, Jessica Vandenbussche, who biked across Ontario this past summer for mental health and is the sister of former NHL player Ryan Vandenbussche, came over to talk about her duties as a pacer and to catch up. We had a great time. I love Jess.
Happy Family Day weekend everyone. I will be at the Delhi arena tomorrow morning from 8 to 10am to help raise funds for the Delhi Medical Centre Expansion and Lions Camp Dorset. Come and see me, or come and see me in Simcoe from noon to 3pm tomorrow when I am working for Norfolk County at the Free Family Fun Event at the Simcoe Rec Centre and Annaleise Carr Aquatic Centre.
I also want to mention my new Facebook page. Thanks to Kristen Jerry for her tireless work. We will keep that page up to date with videos and stories as we go. I cannot believe how crazy this is already. Next blog I am going to tell you about musician Duane Rutter and the wild thing he is going to do for Camp Trillium and me as part of my Radical Crossing 2.0 campaign.
Thanks so much for reading this, but I have to get some rest. Write again soon.
