I want to send our a special thank you to everyone who has supported me mentally and physically through donations for the 2018 Manulife Ride for heart, this ride was for you. For more than 60 years, Heart & Stroke has been dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke. Their work has saved thousands of people’s lives and improved life for millions of others.
It’s been 3 years now since I have been participating in the Ride for Heart with my good buddy Brandon. Each year we push ourself further by increasing our distance, this year managed to get through 75km. I know this was a great challenge for Brandon considering he hasn’t really rode his bike this year prior to this. I very proud of him, cause after 13km in, I started noticing the exhaustion in his face, but he never gave up and kept pushing through.
It’s been a tough several months after my father passed away from a heart attack and it’s very hard not to be able to share with my experiences with my greatest supporter. I miss him dearly and I hope he knows how much I love him.
