Congratulations to our intrepid Newfoundland mountain hikers! Cynthia Haines-Turner, Valerie Roebuck and Mona Edwards decided to climb Gros Morne Mountain to ra...ise funds for PWRDF’s Ride for Refuge, in support of St Jude Family Projects in Uganda. The trio was prepared for a 10-hour hike, but says Cynthia, I underestimated how arthritis has affected my range of motion so I couldn't lift my leg up very high. I took two steps to my sister's one which meant the trip took us much longer than we had anticipated. The view at the top is beyond breathtaking, says Cynthia. I put my PWRDF socks on my hands as I was too tired to do anything else but I wanted a picture at the summit with the logo!" By the time the hikers returned to the base, the sun was setting. The final 4+ km of the hike were rough trails, and they would be in darkness. They had just enough battery power on their cell phones to get them to about 40 minutes from the exit! Fortunately, my husband had called Parks Canada and two of the sweetest young women on the face of the planet came in to get us with flashlights and water! The entire trip clocked in at about 15 hours, 33,834 steps for a total of 22.5 km. Cynthia says they could could barely walk the next day, but the day after, Sunday, they were a little more mobile and Cynthia, an ordained deacon, was able to lead worship. Safe to say that next year, it will be a different project for Ride for Refuge. A big shout out to Parks Canada for their amazing response. The best part is that Cynthia, Valerie and Mona have raised $2,715 for St. Jude’s.
