Walk 4 Life

HEY…HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRENT!! ( TWIN BROTHER )

FIRST OF ALL…I MUST THANK SANDRA FOR TAKING OVER MY WIFE’S ROLE AS WALK4LIFE DRIVER. SHE IS A VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, MY WIFE’S BESTEST FRIEND IN THE WORLD. WHERE WOULD I BE WITHOUT YOU KID? THANKS FOR THE CARD AND BIRTHDAY GIFT.

 I STARTED IN PLEASANT VALLEY TODAY. THE WEATHER WASN’T THE GREATEST BUT, I JUST BOOGIED DOWN THAT OPEN HIGHWAY… I WAS ON MY WAY HOME.

I LIKE TO GET THAT FAR BECAUSE WHEN I REACH SUMMERSIDE I KNOW I’M HALF WAY TO THE END OF MY JOURNEY.

I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR BIRTHDAY WISHES. SPECIAL THANKS TO MELLISH’S MOTORS IN NEW ANNAN FOR THEIR UPLIFTING GESTURE. I WALKED BY THEIR BUSINESS AND THERE WAS A SIGN THAT READ “HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIAN”. THANKS FOR YOUR THOUGHTFULNESS. IT GAVE ME A WELL NEEDED BOOST.

WHEN WE REACHED SUMMERSIDE, I VISITED THE SUMMERSET MANNER WHERE I RECEIVED DIALYSIS BEFORE I RECEIVED MY ”GIFT”. THERE I SAW SOME OF MY FELLOW PATIENTS AND WE HAD A NICE CHAT. IT WAS A BITTERSWEET FEELING TO BE THANKING GOD THAT I DIDN’T HAVE TO GO THROUGH DIALYSIS ANYMORE BUT, ALSO TO SEE MY FRIENDS STILL THERE AND HANGIN’ ON. MY HEART ACHES FOR PEOPLE WHO WAIT FOR A DONOR AND THAT IS WHY I WALK THE WALK AND TALK THE TALK.

 YOU’RE A FIGHTER, PAM…GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU IN HIS CARE.

 THANKS TO THE NURSES FOR TAKING GOOD CARE OF MY FRIENDS. YOU ARE A GOD SEND.

…ON TO THE CREDIT UNION PLACE FOR MY VISIT WITH ‘THE MAYOR’ BAZIL STEWART.

 SINCE IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY, MY BLUEEYES TOOK TIME OUT OF HER WORK SCHEDULE TO MEET ME AND SHE GAVE ME A BEAUTIFUL ROSE. THANKS BLUEEYES…I MISSED YOU.

  THANK YOU BAZIL FOR COMING OUT TO SUPPORT ME AND MY CAUSE.

THANKS TO SYLVIA SMITH FOR YOUR DONATION. YOU WERE ONE OF MY FAVORITE NURSES. I’M GLAD WE STOPPED MEETING THAT WAY…WINK, WINK.

 BARB MACNEIL (LEFT) IS A KIDNEY DONOR. SHE GAVE HER BROTHER THE ULTIMATE GIFT AND GAVE HIM A NEW BEGINNING. I’M SURE HE IS FOREVER IN HER DEBT.

GORDON MACFARLANE (CENTER) RECEIVED A LIVER TRANSPLANT AND IS LOOKING GOOD…NICE TO SEE YA…MY FRIEND.

 DAVID POIRIER ( CHIEF OF POLICE ) WAS THERE TO GREET ME AS WELL. THANKS CHIEF!
