As our family has been touched by cancer, when the opportunity to raise funds for cancer research and to do it in such a unique way by walking the length of the Confederation Bridge from New Brunswick to PEI, I just had to go.
The Bridge is 14kms long and this would be my longest walk in about 5 years. I had been slowly building up to the distance over the entire summer and I was confident I could do it.
As a team of 7 people we raised over $1800 and were in the top 10% of fundraising teams. The entire walk raised over $830,000.
This walk is usually only done every 5 years, but due to Covid, it hadn’t been held since 2015. Over 10,000 people participated. This was the largest crowd I have been in since I got sick. It was so nice to be outside in the fresh air with so many people.
