Canadians In Motion...From Ocean to Ocean: Day 16

Well, its been a couple days since my last post (Mom's not going to be liking this!) Its 1am on Day 19, but I need to play some catch up so I am going to get at least 1 day in before I forget too much of it.
Day 16 was our first day in Nove Scotia and our first day starting from a school. We intend to start from a school any time that we have a Relay day when school is in session. Rick is very focused on ensuring that the youth of today are made aware of his mission and vision as they will be the leaders of the future and will ultimately be the ones responsible for carrying on Rick's dream for healthy people to be living on a healthy planet within an inclusive society. Our first Medal-Bearer will be a student from the school and we'll host an assembly for all the students to attend and learn about Rick's story, his dream, and why he is doing this Relay.
Despite a wet and rainy day, it was exciting for all the team members to be able to go to a school and interact with the kids. We visited 4 schools on the day and had some incredible moments. An elementary school that we visited for 30 minutes was so excited for us to come. The students all came into the gym with their posters and banners they had made the day before. We got them all up and dancing as well, learning our routine that we perform at each Meeting Point. They had a blast and really enjoyed meeting our team and being able to see Sonny's cool hand cycle that he rode right into the gym. There is a video floating around somewhere of me at the front of the gym, trying to teach the moves to our warm up routine so we'll see if it surfaces later and I will add it......maybe. :)
