The Challenge

In April of 1998 it looked like the odds of my completing the Walk Across Canada were slim. I would have to walk across ten provinces and take more than ten-million steps. The route I had chosen was almost 9,000 kilometres.

I wasn’t an athlete. And—I was 52 years old.

But if I wanted to make a difference in the lives of all those boys just like our young son Jesse—this is what I had to do.

Once I was committed to this massive challenge there would be no looking back.

And so the journey began….
