    Smile Mike's Walk

    I think this kind of puts the stuff most of us do into perspective.

    40 years ago my cousin Mike was knocked off his bike. Amongst other injuries he suffered a serious brain injury. Inspired by Terry Fox http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Fox and his Trans Canadian epic. Mike set out on his challenge. Walking approximately 20k a day for eight days from London Ontario to Pelee Island, the site of his accident.

    Good on ya Mike! I am so very proud of you.:thumbup:

    Update on Mike's Walk taken from his facebook page http://www.facebook.com/MikesWalk

    " Mike and Dave will be dropping off the proceeds at the Brain Injury Association on Friday and the total (to date) is thiscloseto $10,000! Wow! What you can do when you set your mind to it, eh?! And that amount doesn't include the online donations! I'm not sure how we're going to thank everyone, but we will think of something! Thank you!! "
