Day # 124 – September 20th, 1995 (Ed’s note: This is my final posting from our last 30-days on the road in 1995. A lot has happened in the 25-years since I pushed Jesse across Ontario in his wheelchair. In today’s story I want to share a little bit about what has...

Day # 123 – September 19th, 1995 After getting some much-needed sleep following the excitement of being at centre ice for the Leafs-Senators game last night, Jesse and I have to thank the volunteers who coordinated our exact route on the road. The way the route has...

Day # 122 –September 18th, 1995 The sky was clear blue and once again the air was very crisp when we reached our start point at Highways 7 and 36. The recognition factor is very high, and people begin donating as soon as we are on the road. Our OPP escort (Jane) is...

Day # 121 – September 17th, 1995 We seemed to have a little more zip when we met our police escort this morning as Jesse put on his hat and I began pushing him along the road leading to Carleton Place. Ottawa is getting closer. One of the first people to make a...

Day # 120 –September 16th, 1995 Today, Jesse and I both had a chance to sleep a little later, but we were still up reasonably early and ready to go. This is a good sign. It’s a Saturday, and the day started out clear but cool, and that means there will likely be more...

Day # 119 – September 15th, 1995 It’s a very cool and almost cold morning. There seems to be a different kind of light that comes with a very blue sky. We meet our police escort at our start point and head up Highway 29, which is not a very good road. It has very...

Day # 118 –September 14th, 1995 Our 118th day on the road started with a long drive to get to our start point where we finished yesterday. Once we were underway, it was a fairly long push to get to Brockville. Jesse and I were with Debbie Marks, another of our...

Day # 117 – September 13th, 1995. Another day with a very early start. I’m glad there aren’t too many more of these left. After breakfast in Kingston, we head out to the highway to pick up where we left off yesterday on the road to Gananoque. We made it to Gananoque...

John Davidson <[email protected]> Day # 116 – September 12th, 1995 (Ed’s note: A little change of pace today. I am posting the day’s journal entry word-for-word as it appears in my logbook. Sorry I don’t know who some of the people are. Mostly I...

Day # 115 – September 11th, 1995. In Napanee, I slept until I was called in the morning. I felt a bit like I was dragging myself out to the motorhome and had some breakfast before we reached our start point. Our day on the road began with a long uphill stretch of road...
