Discussions

With mental health and addictions being a highly discussed topic in the news, as well as general discussion, I would just like everyone to check out the followourwalk link. Mental health affects everyone whether it is family, friends, or just someone we meet on the street.  
This man Bret Mavriik has been walking with his husky dog Nymeria for the past 5 months. He is walking from Toronto to the Whistler mountain. I have had the privilege to meet him along our travels and ask him a bit about his journey as well as what he has gone through along the way. For the most part he is camping along the side of the Trans Canada Highway when he needs to rest.  
I am not looking to start a big discussion on this but to ask those who are interested to please check out his journey. If you see him along your travels please stop and say hi. Bret is near Portage La Prairie right now and making his way to Brandon in the next few days. It is great to see there are good people out there who really do care.

Thank you for your support Lucy43. Bret and Nymeria appreciate any support they can get. They just left Portage today and are on their journey to Brandon now.
