Don’t take the decals off the Grandpas Can support vehicle just yet

I was filling up Arivd and Ruth’s VW Golf at a Winnipeg Co-op gas station early this morning, just back from the drive home from Ottawa as media crew.  The Grandpas Can decals are still on the car.  A woman came up to me and said, “I’d like to give you a donation” as she opened her wallet and handed me cash.  Wow… that truly captures the heart and soul of this event.  It’s going to take a groundswell of people who in the middle of their everyday lives open their hearts to the needs of others.  This woman did exactly that and it felt amazing!

Thank you Beckie for your donation at the Red River Co-op.  You just helped save a life.

Arvid's Role

God has called me (Arvid) to be an ambassador for Mully Children's Family. I have chosen to use ultramarathon cycling as my platform from which to fulfill this calling. You can follow my ride, here, at www.grandpascan.com/ride. To read more about me and my story, click here.
