WILL'S RIDE -- UPDATE - Sally Bowen Will Adam left Glace Bay Beach for a ceremony and send-off in Sydney on May 1st. His journey inspired do- nations to the local MS Society of over $1300 - and a lot of hugs and waves and small donations to him t0 help him on his way. He struggled with very difficult weather and terrain in the Maritimes - short, steep mountains and rain or snow, 24 out of 27 days. He was camping some of those days. He made it to Riviére-du-Loup and a great welcome from friends of Diane and Michelle's and a good rest, then he cycled through Quebec in a week! He had some tough struggles, and many moments of extraordinary kindness from strangers. He reached Ontario on Sunday, June 3rd. He'll slow the pace a little, visiting with family and friends, and doing some media interviews. (Although he managed his first TV interview in Trois-Riviéres.) We are planning a big but brief celebration for him at noon in downtown Kingston, Friday, June 8th, then home for a few days R & R. Then, there will be an Island party, to help raise funds for his expenses as he travels north and west, and to cele- brate what he has already accomplished.
