HOPE FLOATS Journeys Around Canada finishes strong! 22,617 kilometres

 CONGRATULATIONS!   WE DID IT!   

We traveled 2416 kilometers in our final week of our Journey around Canada, bringing us to a total of 22,617.57 kilometers.    Wow!    Way to go team!   



Not only did we journey all the way around Canada, we did it with 1,500 kilometers to spare!


Once we reached Lock 1 of the St. Lawrence Seaway Authorities Welland Canal, we launched our dragon boats and paddled up the Canal to the beautiful Welland Recreational Canal to make out way home to the Welland International Flatwater Centre!


Where will we go next?  We are going to take a week or two to plan our next adventure.   

The Hope Floats Grow Grant implementation committee is currently putting together a twice weekly zoom workout for Breast Cancer Survivors and their family and friends.    

In the meantime, we hope to see as many as you as possible on the South Niagara Canoe Club Monday, Wednesday & Friday zoom workouts with SNCC coach Tim Ostiguy.

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”- Lao Tzu

“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
