Finale.

This is it Canada. Tim Harriman is on his very last day of his tour. At the moment, he is on his way to St. John's Newfoundland.

I am so overwhelmed with that thought. . . but I'm overjoyed at the same time.

Tim faced Cancer, and I've noticed that the same determination he had during that fight, is the same determination he has had through this entire journey. I have to thank you Tim, for the things you have taught me about life this summer. I wish I could describe to you how proud I am of you, but words are not enough. You are amazing. You pushed through the elements, the negativity, but you thrived . . .! Watching you get on that bike for the last time today, was like watching the end of an inspiration film. It makes you want to cry your eyes out! --I know what I'll be doing at the finish line...I'll needs lots and lots of Kleenex. You inspired thousands of kids, and adults. You are a beacon of light to Canadians. You will forever be recognized as the survivor who biked for the kids! Bless you Tim!!!!

I have some people I would like to thank too. Being on this journey, in this RV has been really hard at times, but I am so thankful for this amazing opportunity, it has really shaped my life.

Mom; Whenever I called you, you always had the perfect amount of advice for me. You listened so well, and let me vent on you...and I did that alot! I think being apart from my best friend for such a long time has really drawn me closer to you, and I can't wait to have some mother/daughter dates when I get home. I miss your company, your laugh, and your hugs. Thank you for all you have done for me this summer, you are the greatest mom any girl could ever ask for. I love you!

Andrea; Even though we only got to chat a few times this summer, I know that when I get home we will start right where we left off. I've really learned to appreciate your friendship on this trip. The sacrifice you were willing to make on my behalf was amazing. Thank you for picking up your phone even when it was late, laughing with me, encouraging me and sticking by me no matter what. I can't wait to see you!

Deb; Nothing has changed...I mean, the funny things we talk about over the phone, even some of the things we do while talking, are just like at home. I discovered something about you I didn't really notice before, you are such a caring and compassionate person. You were always asking me how I was doing and what was new...I really appreciated that. We are going shopping when I get home, I can't wait to see you Debbie! Love you tons! xoxo

Melanie; Thank you for praying for me Mel. It has been so hard being away from you, I've seen you grow up through facebook, you are such a stunning thing, I can't wait to spend more time with you and watch you grow up some more! Thanks for sticking by me, you and Deb have proved that you are REAL sisters, the kind I'm gonna love forever!! :)

Matt C AND Matt D; The two Matts!! Matt C, thanks for your encouragement! Whenever we talked, it seemed like I was sitting with ya drinking some tea, just chatting away. I really appreciated hearing from you. Matt D! I guess all I can say is thank you so much for being there for me when you were. On this trip, I've discovered who my true friends are...the kind that stick by you no matter what, are quick to listen and very very good at giving advice. I appreciate both of you, and I'm so excited to see you guys!!

Joel; Whenever you sent me messages, they were always at the perfect time. You have no idea how thankful I am for those! I don't think you realize how you encourage people, or how many people truly appreciate you. Thanks Joel.

Jackie and Dave; WE are gonna have so much fun when I get home! I can't WAIT to see you two!! Jackie thanks for your random messages on my phone, about things like your new hat..or getting a lawyer. I've missed you tons and tons, we are gonna make so many fun memories when I get back, the four of us!! Love you both, miss you both. Thanks for sticking by me!

This trip has been unbelievable! I can't even describe it to you. The hours spent on videos, photos, physiotherapy, blogs...its all been worth it. --Thanks Tim for bringing me along and trusting me with all of these things. I hope I did a good job! Thanks to all of the readers out there, and supporters of this cause. We couldn't have done it without you!

St. Johns..here we come...ALBERTA--we're on our way!!
