On behalf of my family I would like to thanks everyone who came out to show their support to my boys and Kids Cancer Care Foundation.  It was so exciting to see so many friends among the crowd.  It would be very wrong of me not to say a BIG THANK YOU to the many people who volunteered their time to help make it a success.  Especially to Natalie O-Connor, The Capri and all their staff (especially Al and Jolene) - they donated all the food so 100% of the money raised could go to KCCF and they paid for all the staging, tables, dunk tank, chairs, etc.  I'm sure I'll forget some things...  To all the people who provided booths of many kinds.  When I arrived at 10 ish (that was the first time) there were many staff members from Heritage Family Services present helping set up.  Thank you!   It was a very exciting day for me.  Thanks for making to so much fun!!!  KCCF (Candace - the woman present taking the donations) told me she would probably have a rough estimate of how much money has been raised to date later this week.  I'm sure we'll let you know when we find out.  I'm sure I've missed tons of people I should thank....but this doesn't have to be the last blog from me.  

Right now, I'm going to bed.  The NobleMen just phoned and they are in Pink Mountain, B.C.  not quite as far as they wanted to be - but not too bad either.  They stopped for a big barbeque in Grande Prairie and they family that hosted it gave them a cheque for KCCF for $500.00!  

I've been amazed by the generosity of the people I've come in contact during this whole bike ride event.  At times it has been overwhelming!  Having a student from my school lose the fight against cancer three weeks ago has brought home that children - in fact all people - should not have to suffer the pain of cancer.  Perhaps a cure can be found!  Thank you!
