And the Journey is underway...

Hi Everyone, Amber here, just giving everyone an update.

The journey started this past Sunday morning in London, Ontario, where the team was greeted by the media to officially start of the walk/run. The sun was shining, spirits were high, and the momentum of the team was charismatic.

Janis, Melissa, and Crystal started out early in the morning and made it 40 kms on their first day. Pictures to come soon. :)

During one of the hottest weeks we've seen here in Ontario this year, these Women are really pushing themselves through some extreme heat. I am in awe of them. They are being smart and starting out early, breaking during the hottest hours and heading back out in the later parts of the day.

And I am thrilled to report that by this morning, they have made it half way!!! That is amazing to me! They still have three more days after today to keep walking and I'm very confident that they will make it. My Dad joined them this morning and he's looking forward to finishing the walk with them.

My Mom has been circling around them keeping fresh food and refreshments available to keep them healthy and hydrated and offering any support they need, so a special thanks goes out to my Mom and Dad for their support!! They wouldn't get through without them, that is for sure.

More to come soon!!! :)
