 Wow that was a day. It started with Melissa driving back from Kasey's house were she stayed last night, to the motorhome where I slept last night. She picked me up and we were off to Yesterday's run stop and turn it into today's run start. 

The run starts!! 

Then we got the run started with Kasey driving the RV so Melissa could do some work on the computer. 

Moving through town. 

Hello Vernon

Hello Lake Country

Kasey and Marcie

Inside the motorhome they were having a great time. With Melissa driving and Kasey and Marcie there was a Braintrust Office party going on. I enjoyed the weather outside. 

The fantastic Okanagon lake side. 

Vernon Vipers Hockey Team

I got to meet up with the Vernon Vipers Hockey Team. I talked about concussion and the importance of reporting concussions. 

Magda and Me at the meeting. 

We were able to use the Nixon Wenger Office space and meet there staff. along Mayor Wayne Lippert, CEO of Braintrust Maribeth Friesen, and the board members of Braintrust Gary Weatherill, Bill Dick, Patricia Neilson

BrainTrust Board Members. 

When I first had the idea to do something to raise the awareness of Brain Injury I contacted allot of people. From the beginning Braintrust Canada was supportive. If it was not for the board members of Braintrust believing in this crazy idea I would not be here. 

So a huge thank you for helping me reach out to all the people we have. Melissa and I are the faces seen most on the run. We are the "front lines" of the Run To Remember, however it is people Like Casey, Magda, Maribeth who run the office. The Run To Remember is not the only thing going on. They still run a Brain Injury organization with clients, and staff like Marcie who are on the front lines of working with people with brain injury. They are the ones who work with the families of survivors, provide services for all parts of brain injury. They fill that never ending hole when you leave the hospital. They try to clear the confusion and offer the appropriate services for each unique brain injury. 

This run would not be possible without all these people. It just wouldn't. Thank you all. 

So much more happened today than I can go into right now. From the hockey players to the Mayor and the CEO of Braintrust and the Board members. On top of this I am fighting a cold and need to get some sleep!! I have a marathon to run tomorrow.
