A Record-Breaking Ride


Today Sylvia and I travelled to Calgary to join my parents in welcoming my brother Sean over the finish line of the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer. Sean raised over $2800 for his 200 km ride, and thus helped participate in the largest fundraiser ever in Alberta - $7.3 million in new funding for the fight against cancer.

We're all very proud of Sean. It's also a pleasure to report that Mom's cancer treatment has gone very well, and that the doctors tell her that there's a nearly 95% chance that the cancer won't come back within the next 30 years. Pretty good odds!

    Sean, you did damned good! You should be very proud of what you achieved. With all that Spandex, I bet you now have a taste of how Superman must feel after a job well done.
