Around The World Finished: Ten Years

 I have now officially cycled around the world, following the rules set out by the Guinness World Record people.

​ I have never been so proud to be a Canadian! I have crossed 18 countries covered over 29,000 km and used the same bike for the last 10 to complete my ultra marathon cycle. I set two world records during my journey that I am very proud of. I have saved almost 100 animals from the side of the road. I averaged 100 km per day burned around 5000 to 8000 calories per day. I was hit by cars twice, robbed , driven off the road several times bitten by several reptiles flies and insects run off the road by road trains had my cancer return when I was almost finished my journey, and cheated death more times than I ever want to remember.

  My last leg in Australia I will have raised almost $50,000 thanks so much to the Melbourne firefighters. I have started annual fundraisers in 5 cities around the world. Sometimes I wonder how on earth did I live through it? . I feel the universe, the power in it that plans all our fates awarded me a chance to fulfill my destiny.  Our flag I carried will fly all week on this tower in Melbourne then return to Canada to fly at City Hall In Vancouver .
 
  Thank you everyone for believing in me. Thank you for believing I could do it. Thank you for supporting my cause to cure cancer. I never ever break a promise and I never ever give up until a cure is found or I die! Thats all I have to say about that. Up next: Mount Everest.
