Yesterday was truly wonderful and inspiring. Both Alex and I were awed to meet and speak with so many people that have dedicated their life's work and passion toward enabling people to rebuild strength and confidence after surgery. Thanks to cardiac rehabilitation, Alex was able to find his own stride (and eventually a pedal stroke) after his aortic aneurysm. The events at the Western Hospital and the Toronto Rehab Institute provided an amazing opportunity to connect with the incredible slew of people who make these rehab programs possible, including: the Cardiac Health Foundation, health practitioners, granting agencies like Trillium, and supporters like Tridel.
After our exciting day, our remaining time in Toronto has been spent visiting with great friends and enjoying our beautiful temporary home. It's going to be tough to roll away from people we love (and also to move back into the tent) but this break in Toronto has been just what we needed to propel us into the next 3400km. Thank you to everyone for your support, friendship, and company. We hope you will stay with us as we continue toward Newfoundland!
