Today was what I liked to call a pro bono day. On these days we go to local businesses and we try and get in kind contributions. A restaurant chain in the Maritimes called Jungle Jims had agreed to feed us throughout 20 of their locations. Hotels, usually Choice Hotels were helping us with accommodations. Other things like health and office needs were pursed at department stores. Sometimes these tasks become wearisome, but when you travel with a low budget and determined to reach the other end it is basically survival. That night we arrived in Grand Fall-Windsor and again we were in for a very a pleasant surprise waiting for us at Jungle Jims. Irish Dancing Star Don McCarron from Lord of the Dance dined with us and afterwards gave us a stunning performance of dancing

Today was an event day. Grand Falls/Windsor Torch Champion Marcus Hicks met with us at the Town Hall with students from Exploits Valley High School. Marcus ran with the Torch to his school. The principal had arranged a great reception combing their yearly Thanksgiving ceremonies with our campaign. It was very moving to hear the speeches and feel grateful to what we have.
