Had a pretty neat experience this weekend.  I’ve flown over many charitable events but not one of this magnitude.  This was the 10th annual Rankin Cancer Run here in Niagara.  I was asked to fly photographer Andrew Fisher over the venue, to get some aerial shots.  Over 12,000 people took part in the run, which started and ended at the Grantham Lions Club in north St. Catharines.  Here is the amazing view of the folks we spent about thirty minutes flying over:

And once the run was underway:

Truly amazing – they raised over $900,000 which all stays here in Niagara!  Sweet!  I feel so honoured to have been able to contribute to this event.

Andrew was kind enough to take some wonderful shots of Vyctor before we took off.  Here are some of them:

Thanks again, Andrew!  You truly brought out Vyctor’s good side – which is every side!  I mean look at him – he’s absolutely adorable!  The cutest plane ever!

Today’s symptoms: Haven’t had the greatest week.  My stupid bladder infection is back.  I still don’t know how I made it through a year of having these infections, which were finally put to rest after starting a daily low-dose antibiotic in December.  My urologist didn’t want me on it long term, so I ceased the med about a month ago.  Ugh.  May have to go back on it.  The infections exacerbate many of my MS symptoms, the main ones are the fatigue and weakness – much worse.  Fortunately I was feeling decent on Saturday morning, but the flight wiped me out and I spent the rest of the day in bed.  At least I had the kittahs to keep me company!
