All aboard the Polar Express


 So I had to trade in my bicycle for these Nordic walking poles as we head into different terrain up North. Pole walking is a great workout. Did you know that you can engage upwards to 90% of your muscles on a correct formed walk. And you'll notice your posture improve too! So important as we age.  Mmmm...I think I used the other 10% of my muscles (face) with a big smile when I found Santa's Polar Express train! Maybe we might run into him?

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”                   Lao Tzu Nine years ago today, I entered NGGH with my daughter to have my breast cancer surgery. Just 11 months after the death of my husband, I was on a true journey into the unknown. After my surgery, and 27 days of radiation, I began a new journey alone. I got on a plane and flew to Panama. I packed my tube of third degree burn cream and a stack of white men’s Stansfield tee shirt. I walked the beaches and followed the route  the Panama Canal to its source. After the first journey, I have travelled thousands of miles alone. November 1st, I began yet another journey. This time I am walking to Vancouver with friends. Although, I am walking by myself, I am not alone. Friends and family will walk beside me with faith and support. This is a new journey! This is an adventure! The road ahead is clear! - Audi Johnston - Hope Floats member
