How you can help
In 2009, 3530 cyclists raised $14.5 million in the Ride to Conquer Cancer. My final tally... $8310! Funds raised support cancer teaching, research and care at the Campbell Family Institute of the Princess Margaret, one of the top 5 cancer research centres in the world.
I want to thank everyone who made this happen. You are my heroes.
I will be riding in the 2010 RTCC. Fundraising will take a different path this year, but if you wish to make an easy online donation, please click here!

Fishermen
by a rocky shore,
winds blowing wildly,
in a boat unmoored -
such is our condition

Wow--our pics were never that clear! Congrats guys...can't wait to see more of the babe!
Hi Bob and Anna,
Bob, it was nice to see Anna in Temagami a couple of weeks ago. She gave me a report on you, but not about your next adventure. Congratulations to you both.
I expect that Anna mentioned Graham's magificent adventure. Amazing things happen and it is marvelous to watch children engage with the world.
All the best to you and Anna for next adventures.

And if you can believe it, I went on line just now to check the site thinking, I wonder if there will be something there about a baby. I am so excited for you. Time for more exclamation marks: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey! Wonderful news... I thought I'd poke around on your site to see how things are going. What a blessing after the relatively crappy winter you've been through. I am so very happy for you & wish you all the best through the pregnancy & beyond. Hope you keep 'the wider community' posted as we're all rootin' for you on this new adventure. Hope our paths cross before too long.
Love, Jen M
just read/saw the news about your wee one. congratulations !!! Nico
