Pinball Wizard

We met the Tempo Twosome at 7:30am and transferred the canoe onto their Jeep Cherokee for the trip from Edmonton to Calgary. Jeff rode in their vehicle on the way down.

We arrived in time for the barbeque ALS Calgary had scheduled for us. The Tempo Twosome didn't stay for lunch saying they had to return for a baseball game, but we know they really wanted to visit the big box stores in the Calgary area;) CityTV had a reported there shortly after we arrived, so Jeff took some time to talk to him while I started in on a freshly grilled hamburger. Had a great visit with a lot of the Calgary staff as well as a gentleman who just lost his father to ALS in December. After we had lunch, we got another media visit from a Global TV reporter, so we took the time to talk to him. Both reporters were great guys. Thanks for helping us spread the word about ALS.

Going to have an early morning since we are visiting the CityTV studio tomorrow morning for a spot on the Morning Show. That should be a lot of fun since they want us to portage the canoe into their studio. We'll let you know how it goes.

The thicker sleeping bag is already in the tent.

    Hi there-

    My sister in law in Calgary just sent me an e-mail with your website. So glad to have found y'all.
    My dad was diagnosed with bulbar onset ALS in 2008. He is now in a ventcare facility for rehab after having a trache placed. He has deteriorated quickly in the last months.
    What an inspiration you guys are- I look forward to following you!!
