Push For Breast Cancer Cure



Push For Breast Cancer Cure
Four men are testing their physical and mental as they skate board 8000 kilometers across Canada to raise awareness and raise funds for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Read the story of these brave men.

We're still out here! And we're really covering some ground. Shattering records left right and centre! We actually covered 125k each day three days running. WILD. Never imagined we'd be doing these distances. Really, we're skating so much - the Prairies have been crazy that way. Yesterday we did over 120k again with 15+ hours of skating. Unbelieveable. We're also starting to see some rolling terrain - saw the first hill in ages last night - pretty measley but still a welcome site. The Prairies have really been a treat - their tremendous sunsets are undescribable and they seem to last forever. I forgot how beautiful they could be.

Regina was our home on the weekend and the city really treated us well. We spent two nights there, did some fundraising and had great media coverage - print, radio and TV. So much so that we were recognized everywhere as we continued on our journey West. We were also fortunate to have CBC stop us on the highway yesterday to do a quick story.

Currently, we're on the road to Swift Current and spent last night in the town of Mortlach. Lovely place - a one stop sign kind of town. The Cooks family took us in last night and were gracious enough to let us park in their drive way and plug in for the night. They also treated us to a great breakfast this morning and stocked us with some steaks and produce from their garden - were looking forward to a delicious dinner tonight! Really a sweet family, cool folks, we're ever grateful!
