Downtown Oakville hosted the Allard Family Spirit Wheel Walk Run Saturday, June 25 in support of the Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Association of Ontario (SB&H).

The walk will followed a route from Lakeshore Road at Navy Street and proceeded toward Lake Ontario.

On June 10th my mother and I walked 8km on the Kate Pace Way.

The Kate Pace Way is a paved pathway that is named in honour of Olympic skier and native daughter Kate Pace. The pathway winds through residential areas, roadways and the waterfront and runs in a north-south direction through North Bay.

We had an enjoyable time, the weather was great. It took us an hour and a half to walk/wheel the 8km.

We raised $150.

The Walk this year was spectacular! We had quite a few people walk with us, and so far raised over $1500. We had people ask us along the way for pamphlets and for information and how they could join in next year.

On June 19, 2011, our team, “Quinn’s Journey” organized our first annual Spirit Wheel Walk Run Event in Lindsay, Ontario. Leading the Walk, was 3 year old Quinn Fraser, who at 4 months, was diagnosed with hydrocephalus.
