The Walk – Day Seven

// May 2nd, 2009 // Walk Across Canada

Day Seven proved to be a very eventful day. After arriving in Sackville New Brunswick we headed down to Struts Gallery as recommended by Nick, Debbie and Rob’s oldest son. The wonderful people at Struts were kind enough to allow us to use their facilities to edit and catch up on some work.

After catching up on some work and editing, while Rod was still walking we did a short interview at the CHMA radio station. (the full interview can be found in the media gallery section)

The night ended well with a room at a Super8 Motel compliments of the manager in efforts to show their support for Rod Standish and what he’s trying to accomplish. This gave Rod a nice bed to sleep in for the night, and somewhere to sit and soak his *extremely blistered* feet. Thank you to everyone at the Super8 for everything they did to help accommodate us and really make us feel at home!

    Take care of yourself, Rod, take care of your feet, and make sure you eat! :) P.S. Love the daily updates at Drift Communications. Good luck to you.

    Walk on. But remember…..you don’t need to get’er done this week. Pace yourself. It was the tortoise, not the hare, who won the race. Just a minute….”pace”, “race”,…..there must be a song in there somewhere.

    Rod, you’ve always been courageous. Be wise about your feet and watch out for infection. Read the info I sent to Mike re blister care.

    have you heard of moleskin? it’s made my dr. scholls i’m pretty sure, it’s supposed to prevent blisters and also protect already blistered feet. the only problem is it costs $ but not a whole lot.. worth looking into.

    you’re doing great though rod! i’m so proud of you. <3
