Final Post for Chapter 3 - 2008

Helen Samm came into my office yesterday to talk about the trip. She told me about how much fun they had, but also the struggle that they had this year with the weather and the headwinds. She also said how surprised she was from the funding that is coming in from all over western Canada. Somehow the word is spreading. To date they are at just over $12,000 in donations. It's not too late!!! If you decide to make a donation, please click on the "Donation Form" link on the right of this page.
Here are a last couple of photos.

Helen getting ready for her shift. The team rides in 20km intervals then they take a break. Here they are just after lunch - somewhere in Manitoba......



David Samm - Somewhere in Saskatchewan - look at the nice WIDE, PAVED shoulder......


The group hit Birtle Elementary School on a Monday morning. The Principal, Mrs. Hickman (photo left) was full of energy and enthusiasm! Helen went to elementary school in Birtle, and while the school has been re-built, the town and area brought back lots of memories...


I hope you have enjoyed reading about the Munsch A Bunch adventures.

See you next year!!!!
