Day 21

Saturday 22nd Aug

6.13 km!

Day 20

Thursday 20th Aug
Day 20 started with a healthy lunch, cardiac rehab and then another errand day. Not everyday can be filled with pastries and day trips! 

5 km done today, resulting in my reaching 100 km for August so far!

Day 19 - Errand day

On day 19, we were catching up on more errands around the house, so only about 4 km walked, but not without having lunch at Vincenzo's first!

Day 13

Thursday 13th Aug
Started the day with rehab, followed by some relaxation and some walking afterwards, before settling into the night.

5.2 km - tally for the month so far in the mid 60 kms.  Hoping to make 100 km by the end of August. Fingers crossed!

Day 12

Wednesday 12th Aug
No trips to exotic locations today - just a staycation in my neighborhood!

4.25 km by day's  end. Hopefully more distance tomorrow...

Day 11

Wednesday 12th Aug
Day 11 - Enjoying the fruits of my labours - a casual day in the Niagara region buying peaches!

Only 3 km today, but as I always say, tomorrow is another day...

Day 10

Monday 10th Aug
Another slow day, this time due to tight right hip flexor and/or hamstrings. 4 km.

It took longer to achieve that, but today, I was the tortoise, not the hare...

Day 9

Sunday 9th Aug
Day 9 - 4km today!

I have now met my 50 goal for the month of August! AND I have already met my donation goal of $500. 

The rest of the month is gravy! Gonna keep on keepin' on!

Day 8

Saturday 8th Aug
Sometimes you have to stop and smell the roses, so I did exactly that! 

Did some walking  at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton/Burlington today for a much needed nature break. 

Only 3.75 km today, but that's okay...

Day 7

Friday 7th Aug
The end of week 1!

I celebrated my first week at the Kitchener Blues Festival.  And what a week!

I surpassed my fundraising goal of $500.00 and now I am at 43 km out of my 50 km goal for the month of August. Only 7 km to go!

When I first signed up, the default goal was $500.00 and 50 km, and I had no idea how I would do, so I used those figures as a starting point. Never did I think I would get this far so quickly!

Thanks for your support!

Day 6

Thursday 6th Aug
Cardiac rehab today - and not much else...

The day quickly fills up with errands and such; still, managed to rack up about 5km by day's end.

Another chance tomorrow to add to my tally! First week ends tomorrow...

Day 5

Wednesday 5th Aug
A busy day driving around, so not as many kms as I wanted to - 4.57 km.

As always, tomorrow is another day!

Day 4

Tuesday 4th Aug
Today started as a slow day, but after an evening walk, I clocked about 6 km. 

Debating about continuing to do a daily video; maybe one per week? What do you think? I started doing them to hold myself accountable to all my generous donors (thank you!)

Day 3

Monday 3rd Aug
A beautiful sunny day! Walked a total of 10 km! It certainly made up for a very rainy Day 2! 

19/50 km so far - 31  km to go!

Check out today's video!

Day 2

Sunday 2nd Aug
Today started with pouring rain and an early morning walk inside a grocery store (see video link):

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CRKPhPg6Z/

In the end, I only logged about 3 km - a slower day, but tomorrow is another day!

Day 1

Saturday 1st Aug
Day 1 has come and gone! Today I did about 6 km - an average day, I'd say. Before Aug 1st,  some days I walked a little less, some days much more, depending on what I had to do, but since the surgery, I make sure I walk everyday!

Help me raise funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation - Aug 2026

Wednesday 29th Jul
Hello! My name is Dave and on May 19, 2026, I had a heart attack and had triple bypass surgery on May 21, 2026. I just started cardiac rehab late July 2026 when I came across the Heart and Stroke Foundation's August 2026 fundraising drive, and I felt compelled to register! Please join me in my recovery as I raise funds for the foundation and walk in honour of those who cannot, and for those loved ones we lost. Thank you from the bottom of my heart (!) for your support!

Thank you to my Donors
