The Walk – Day Three
// April 29th, 2009 // Walk Across Canada
http://www.vimeo.com/4394695Day Three was nothing less than an emotional roller coaster for everyone involved. Early on in the day the support van broke down, luckily we were within walking distance of a toll section so we were able to easily use the facilities to contact a towing company.
Our tow truck driver Rob Lattie, ended up being nothing short of a phenomenal human being. Not only did he tow us for free, he drove us around the area trying to find the best and cheapest place to get the van repaired. After which he opened his heart and his home to us allowing us to stay with him and his beautiful family for the weekend while we sorted out the van troubles.
Robert, Debbie, Bo and Bobbie (the Lattie family) were beyond anything you would expect being in the situation we were in. They were kind, helpful, more than willing to show us around, take us on a tour of Five Islands, Nova Scotia, Parrsboro, Truro and surrounding areas, cook us dinner every night and allow us to stay in their home. They truly treated us like we were apart of the family and to feel that type of kindness and love from complete strangers is an amazingly beautiful thing, we’re better off for having met them and we all hope we can take some of that kindness with us and share it with those we come across.
Great stuff! This video really got to me. Keep it up guys, spread the love.
Thank you so much to Lattie family.
thank you rob…for a good cause…your a great heart
good luck guys …
the human hearts beats on…<3
I’m overwhelmed by the love and kindness that Harold Lewis and the Lattie family has shown you boys… in an age when people are afraid to pick up hitckhikers, Rob picked up a vanload of them and brought them home for two days to hang out with his kids.
You’re right, Rob, if everybody was more like you, this world would be a much nicer place. Thanks so much for helping our boys!
Thanks to Harold for providing the tow truck for the van, and thanks so very much to Robbie for opening his home and his heart for my son. The only thing that truly counts in life is the love we give and receive, and I believe that this year is going to count for a lot in Rod’s life, and in Paul’s and Mike’s too. I cannot believe how very kind people are being, how very generous in offering places for the boys to stay. Great things are happening.
Thanks so much Robert! You did a great thing for a great cause.
What a sweet family!! Thank-you so much for helping out my room mates… this video brought tears to my eyes.
Thank you Robert for helping our boys out it means alot! and its really nice to see that they arn’t alone, and also that love and kindness still exists!
