We arrived at the station at The Forks in Winnipeg about 10 minutes early and were greeted by their great staff. We were on the air from the front of the building, with the canoe in the background, at 0615.
Brian Campbell, the ALS Manitoba PR rep, took us to Smitty's for breakfast and we enjoyed his company while we enjoyed the service and the meal. Spent the morning at the ALS Manitoba office and had a reporter from the weekly local paper stop by to get our story and take some pictures.
Once that was complete we went to meet our ride to Brandon. We transferred our canoe to the Rav4 driven by Joel and Danielle Grenier and hit the road for Brandon. Shortly after arriving we had an interview with CBC Radio 1 host John Updike. Another great experience and one more chance to spread the word about ALS.
We then grabbed a bite to eat with Joel and Danielle at the local Montana's. I know I won't be any lighter when I get home. Sorry Babe.
We are setting up the tent now and Jeff is organizing the back of our car. It's taken on a life of it's own and it we don't get it under control feel that it may start the car and drive away in the middle of the night.
It's going to be a cool night. We are bundling up for the worst.
