| Introduction | 20 years ago I had a mild Heart Attack. You can well imagine the shock. I was a 39 year old Master Warrant Officer sharing a full active life with my lovely wife Mollie in Baden Baden Germany one day, then next day laying in bed being looked at like an old man. As one would expect this became a pinnacle point in my life. Shortly after my recovery we where posted back to Canada, London Ontario. It turned out for the best, arriving in London I had the good fortune of completing my recovery at the Cardiac Fitness Institute of South Western Ontario. To this day I can't thank this organization enough. After 10 years under the institutes dutiful watch I lived a healthy, productive and joyous life. So as the 10th year anniversary of my event approached I wanted to repay the institute for thier caring guidance as well as challenge myself. After a year of planning on May 11,2002 I started my kayak adventure. I paddled from Thunder Bay on Lake Superiors north shore, 53 days later finishing at City Hall, Kingston on Lake Ontario over 2100kms. Along the way we made many good friends,promoted a heart healthy life style and raised a little money for the Fitness Institute. |
