Tomorrow is the big ride. Shawn and I will be going to ride 25 km on two major highways in the city. I have a big motivator to get it done, my mom. As an extra reminder of why I'm doing this, last night Shawn and I attended the funeral for the husband of my mom's friend. He passed away last week from a sudden heart attack. I really feel for this family. I know all too well what they're going through.
I've finished the shirts so I will have my mom with me for the ride. As a bonus, my sister, brother in law and nephew surprised us this morning and they'll be doing the ride with us. It'll be nice to have them here for something so important. Isabel told me that Lucas still asks for my mom. He's not the only one, I ask for her all the time.
Thanks everyone for all your support, hopefully I'll be able to live and tell the tale about it.

Joel and I will be thinking about you and your mom, Dolores. Our donations for heart and stroke are always an important part of our lives since both Joel and my mom have been saved by the Ottawa Heart Institute.

Was thinking about you and your mom all day to today. Hope it was alright. I'm sure it was very emotional. Thinking of you tonight.

I'm too late to wish you luck, so I wish you a night of peaceful (and painfree) sleep, knowing you did something to make your mom proud.
Hope you had an empowering ride...and you are nto too sore on Monday.
