Have a burning desire!

We visited with Alex and Nicole Nilsson, friends of ours when we lived in Creston, British Columbia. Alex worked in Public Health, his wife Nicole is a nurse who has been very active in Diabetes Education.

Alex, age 70, plans to ski across Canada this summer. Roller ski that is. He loves challenging himself physically and has wanted to do this for a number of years. He left Victoria on June 25 estimating his arrival at the Atlantic Ocean in two months hoping to cover about 100 kilometers a day.

We had the opportunity to sponsor a caution sign on the back of Alix and his wife, Nicole’s motor home and a sign on the spare tire cover that reads- “Have a burning desire.”
