About me!

Rennie Young: I retired from Honda Canada Inc. last December after 26 years, 17 years with the military prior to that. Also, I turned 65 Sept. 10. "I wanted to do one thing in my life that would make a difference and I felt this was IT"! I surpassed my fund raising goal of $5,000. I want to thank all who donated to the cause on my behalf. I only started my fund raising on July 22 and found everyone very eager to contribute as just about everybody has been touched by Cancer. It is a horrific disease and we have to make it history!

Day- 2 rain, wind and agony!

Day 2 started out overcast and light rain at our morning meeting. Our Team 5 was riding the 3rd and final leg of today into Aberdeen Washington. By the time we got to our start point about 1230 it was pouring rain and windy. We had to suit up in the rain and head out in between logging trucks. It took us over 3 hours in driving rain with heavy winds. We finally reached Aberdeen and the press wanted to take photos and interview us in the rain. By this time we were completely soaked, cold and miserable but graciously talked to the reporter. Then it took us about an hour to locate our hotel. We all had to remind ourselves why we were doing this in order to prepare for another heavy rain day tomorrow with over 100kms to travel. I will update the Blog with some pics from today and details on Day - 3. Goodnight!
