Out of the Shadows Tour 2010
...we see thee rise
A 22 week cross country bicycle tour from Parksville, B.C. to Neils Harbour, Nova Scotia, commencing June 2010 and ending October 2010.. The goal of the tour is to raise awareness for the recently founded Canada Post Foundation for Mental Health, and to pursue health and wellness.
"Family members who provide care and support to relatives living with mental illness and addiction face a two-fold challenge. First, they must suffer with their loved ones through their daily hardships and use their limited personal resources to try to alleviate them. Second, they must contend with a mental health system that often excludes them from involvement in the information-gathering and decision-making processes while simultaneously leaving them to serve as the fail-safe mechanism to provide unlimited, unpaid care, filling in the cracks that open when any part of the so-called system fails."
