It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing yet another delay in doing my 'Walk to End Pain'.

Due to the Covid19 outbreak and the economical impact it has and will continue to have I know it is not the right time to ask people to donate, regardless of how valuable the cause.

There isn't much point in having a fundraiser when so few will have the resources to assist in any way.

I WILL do this walk, I just don't know when. I don't know if this will be a short postponement or if it will be next year. My goal was always to arrive on Parliament Hill on Canada Day and I would still like to do that but I also don't want to wait another whole year to complete this.

At the moment I just have to trust that the reasons preventing me from doing this are in my best interest and just continue working towards my goal.

Thank you again to those who have supported me.
I will continue to update you on my progress as it happens. 😔

For those of you here in Canada you might find this report interesting. Let me know your thoughts.

Hi everyone, I've been working on trying to make arrangements for The Walk 2.0. My plan to do it as a relay is unfortunately not going to be possible. The requirements and the cost are outside the realm of possibility, so I'm back to doing it on my own.

You will see from my previous post that I'm raising funds for the Chronic Pain Association of Canada, Canadian Pain Society and the Chronic Pain Association Of North America.

I need your help to raise funds for these organizations so they can help those in pain like myself and so many others.

To encourage you to help raise money I am giving out prizes to those who raise the most money. The top three prizes are 1. a flat screen tv 2. a laptop and 3. a set of headphones.

Now in order to provide these prizes I do need to get at least close to my goal which is $10,000. I will be setting up a GoFundMe page soon and once I do I will add the link here.

To all my supporters I greatly appreciate you. Please don't hesitate to comment below with any thoughts or ideas. I appreciate them all.

Please like and share this post, the more people who see it the faster we can get the message out.

Thank you 😊

Hi everyone,

I have some really exciting news, the planning for The Walk 2.0 is well underway. This time I'm planning it as a relay and looking for people to sign up to participate in the walk between Queens Park in Toronto and Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Don't worry if you can only walk a short distance, anything you can do is appreciated.

The anticipated dates start June 18th with our arrival on Parliament Hill July 1st, 2020.

Along with participants to walk I'm also looking for people to help with fundraising. I'm planning to have some really fantastic prizes for my fundraising champions.

Proceeds will go to support the Chronic Pain Association of Canada, the Canadian Pain Society and the Chronic Pain Association of North America.

If you're interested in participating please contact me here for now, the website for the walk will be up soon.

More information will be coming shortly so standby and thank you for all your support.

Hello Everyone, I know I have been silent for a while. Life has caught up with me and I haven't had much time to dedicate to my passions. To be quite honest, after having to cancel the walk I was rather depressed for a while. I'm back now and I'm going to focus more on this page and I am looking into adding a web page as well. Any suggestions???

I have some good news, 'The Walk' 2.0 is coming soon. Watch for details!

Hi Everyone,
Along with financial support I'm also looking for people to walk with me. Not the entire way. Just a little here and there. I'd really like to find some people in the GTA to start out the Walk with me and some people in the Ottawa area to finish the walk with me. Whether it is just a few blocks or a few kilometers I'd love to have you by my side.
Thank you all for your ongoing support.
Stacey
