We were invited up to our In-Laws for Thanksgiving this year. I had heard about a little waterfall to stop at on the drive up to their place in Hastings County. Got a few shots, I was not the most accessible spot for someone who has a disability but I got a couple that I like. I also got a few shots from around the house highlighting the autumn season.

Our arrival on the Island, a visit to Blooming Beach (views and wildlife) and our hosts puppy!

You cannot go to PEI and not go to the beach. When I was in grade school, I spent a summer in the Tracadie Bay area of PEI and it was only a few minutes from where we were staying. The walk on the beach was so nice and relaxing. Driving around the area brought back lots of great memories for me.

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.
