WOW. I am overwhelmed by the amount of press 777 Run For Sight is generating, is so unbelievable. This is beyond my wildest dreams! I get hugged by complete strangers now. Only an hour after the press release went out, I was already doing TV, Radio and newspaper interviews. Impact magazine is also running an article on me in the summer issue I believe.

I think my favourite part is that i get to hear from a lot of people that are being affected by blindness or vision loss either themselves or a family member, is hard to feel alone anymore.

I also receive a lot of note of support from my friends and family about Karl's new diagnosis my favourite is Alan's

Thanks! i totally get it. I had decided to take it one day at a time and that this is just a minor bump, my kids and I have gone too far to have this stop us now.

I am off to Brazil tomorrow,I will be bloggin from there since the local paper Calgary Herald asked me to blog for them.

I also met Robbert Kennedy Jr,and his Wife Mary Richardson Kennedy at Waterkeepers even in Lake Louise and they offered their support, I was worry that when they found out I was a crazy runner they would just look at me and feel sorry, but to my surprise they are incredibly down to earth and had a lot in common since they too are passionate about leaving a better world for their kids.

Here are the links to the a couple of interviews that run on the Calgary Sun and Calgary Herald

time to go to bed and get some rest.
