Kelly and I have been selected to participate in the Tillsonburg leg of the Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay in honor of dad. This is the application Kelly sent in in early September,
Our Dad is an inspiration to all he meets. A man defined by his determination, a life-
long athlete, and lover of life – always pushing and breaking limits, while
constantly encouraging others along the way.
A Rugby player and coach, Triathalete, Ironman, Martials
Arts Sensei and Mentor, Marathoner , Cycling enthusiast; rides of 500+ km are
his norm. Nothing he does has ever been accomplished without going all the way
(even still at 64!).
This Ironman, this friend, this coach, mentor and well-loved
father – has just approached his biggest challenge yet. On August 20th of this year, while
cycling as he so passionately does, he had an accident in which he suffered a
serious spinal cord injury. This man of constant motion, is now in
hospital bed, movements below his neck limited, paralysed.
His journey to recovery has just begun, the support and love
has poured in – the impact he has had on those in his life undeniable.
Our Dad is the most determined, driven and positive person
we know, consistently promoting a healthy and active lifestyle, always giving
110% and more.
He will surmount this, he is on his road to recovery, and a
marathon of physio awaits - To show our support we, his daughters (Meghan &
Kelly) would be honoured to participate in the Relay on his behalf. It’s our turn to give 110%.
If you are in Tillsonburg on Friday November 18th come cheer us on on near Tim Horton's on Simcoe street around 4:30.
We are both honored and excited, to participate.
