We brought our vehicle to a mechanic, because it did not sound right. We received real bad news after the car went through a diagnostic check up. Our 1999 Ford Windstar needed a new transmission among other things. I did not have the funds to repair the vehicle and Ford would not Pro Bono it. I had to make some serious decisions. I decided to rail the vehicle back to Toronto when we reach Halifax on October 19 and fly Lou back and see if he can work on the car or get another one. Kris and I would continue traveling without a vehicle after Halifax. Kris has a lot of spirit and heart, so I am not worried about him.

Today was event day and Delta Hotel was kind enough to hold the Press Conference for us. Sydney Torch Champions Tracey Martin and Kirsten LeBlanc arrived so did Brian Young. Despite our predicament the SOS4000 road put on positive faces and walked to Holy Angels under the memory of Carmen Young, Brians daughter. I am very optimistic about everything ahead of us. There is a straight forward mission we have to accomplish, and that is to bring the Torch to over 100 eager Students.
