Change of Doctor

August 3, 2012

I I have changed Doctor as it has become a little like catch 22 with the numbness in my right foot being the same leg as my sore knee if I wear a knee brace I wonder if it could restrict circulation even more.

So with only 8 weeks before I set off from Port douglas I need to see what can be done with the knee tape strapping seems to make sense  but maybe a small op who knows.

A little Boys challenge

August 2, 2012
In 1997 I spoke to a school in Southport i mention Terry Fox and how he had inspired me.The little boy put his hand up and asked If I would finish his dream.
In 2014 I will be 70 years of age but the little boys challenge still burns in my heart so if you live in Canada and have any involvement in Cystic fibrosis I will do my run across Canada for you guys in 2014.
So please if you can help by starting a network of supporters it would be great.

There comes a time to step down and others to step up.

August 1, 2012
In 1987 a brief ad for the Terry Fox run of hope showing his courage and care for others changed my life his words ring true today.
 
I would like challenge others to first put the past behind them and then take a hard look around themselves and find who they can help.

Embark upon a journey of SERVICE and do not be suprised if people take note and follow.

Daily Challenges.

Woke to day feeling good soon to learn that it very often is our daily living challenges that stress us out.We had hoped that we could sell a few books along the route to improve our standard of living as pensioners on the stae pension.But a phone call from social security blew that away even though we have provided them with all the correct documentation we owe $1700 each for something in 2011.Doing a marathon every day for 34 days a walk in the park compared to dealing with beauracrats and ...

So Friends next time we have a birthday lets for a second think about those who battle daily for their...
