Activity tracker engaged
Tuesday 5th May We have set up activity trackers so you can follow our progress online (and I can see where Steve is when he goes rolling out on his own!). It was a beautiful morning before the predicted rain so the dogs and I walked with Steve for over a km, then he dropped us off on at home so he could head out on his own — and go at his own (much faster) speed. He logged another 4+ km. Share
🌟New Journey, Same Steve -- Stronger every step🌟
Monday 4th May
Many of you know our family as a busy, active group, but over the last several months, our world has shifted in ways we never expected. Today, I’m sharing a bit about that shift—and how we are moving forward, one step at a time.
The Road Behind Us
In early October 2025, Steve suffered a left-side ischemic stroke. The impact was significant, leaving him with right-sided hemiparesis (weakness), as well as expressive aphasia and apraxia. For those who haven’t seen us lately, this means Steve is using a wheelchair to get around for now and is working incredibly hard to recover.
Steve was hospitalized through November before moving into intensive inpatient rehab at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital (OTMH). After four long months of hospital life and tireless effort, he finally came home in early February.
The Power of Resilience
While the diagnosis was daunting, the story of the last six months hasn’t been one of defeat—it’s been one of awe-inspiring resilience.
Recovery from a stroke is rarely a straight line, but Steve’s motivation and drive have been nothing short of heroic. Supported by our family, friends, and an amazing team of healthcare professionals, Steve continues to meet—and surpass—every single recovery goal set for him. Whether in outpatient therapy or community-based rehab, he is proving every day that he is Stronger Every Step.
Walking for a Cause
To celebrate how far he’s come and to support others on this path, we are joining a fundraiser for the Heart and Stroke Foundation this May. Our team, Steve’s Journey – Stronger Every Step, is committing to walking (or in Steve's case rolling) 1-km every single day of the month. Steve's personal goal is to complete this challenge in 2027, this time walking every day.
Our family is walking to honor Steve’s progress, to raise awareness, and to fund the research that helps survivors like him reclaim their lives.
Join Our Journey
Whether you’ve been by our side since October or are just hearing this news today, your support means the world to us. We’ll be sharing updates here as we hit the pavement throughout May.
Thank you for being part of Steve's "Woolf Pack" and for cheering him on as he continues to defy the odds.
With love and gratitude,
Bonnie, Colton, Katie, and Steve
