Well, this is my first Journal entry!
The website has been live for a couple of months now, but it's constantly being updated and improved.
Now that I have a journal, you can read about my progress and post comments. I'll try to keep this updated the entire time while I blade across Canada (but maybe not every single day).

Rich Ralph Rollerblading Across Canada!

by aliendaddy32
On June 13th, 2007 we were fortunate to meet Rich Ralph on his rollerblade trip across Canada to raise money for cancer research. We saw Rich and his support team heading south on Richmond Road in Kanata, Ontario. (just outside Ottawa). You can track Rich on his cross country rollerblade trek at www.SeeTheEnd.com. Good luck Rich!

Who is rollerblading?
Just me! I will be rollerblading the entire distance myself. However, I invite anyone to come out and blade with when I come through your city!
When are you starting?
I will beginning rollerblading from Newfoundland in the first week of May. I will either leave on the Friday or Saturday of that week.
How long will it take?
I estimate that I will arrive in Vancouver in September. I expect the entire trip to take between 4 and 5 months. It is difficult to predict an exact date because of the many variable factors along the way.

How much money do you plan to raise?
My goal is $300,000. This might sound like a lot, but I'll only need 6000 people to donate $50. That's not a lot considering how many people are affected by cancer in Canada.
How do I donate?
You can donate online through this website (click here), you can hand me cash when I rollerblade by you, or you can mail donations to me.

Skate For Hope

Can you provide a tax receipt for my donation?
Yes. Any donation of $20 or more will receive a receipt. If you hand me cash while I'm blading, I will try my best to accommodate you on the spot. However, you may have to wait for a tax receipt to be issued directly from the University of Alberta.
Will you stop at my school?
I can't guarentee that I will be able to stop at every school. But send me an e-mail with your request and I'll try my best to fit it in.
Can I rollerblade with you?
Absolutely! I encourage everyone to come blade, skate, run or bike with me when I come through your area! The more people involved, the better!
What route are you taking?
Have a look at the route/timeline estimation here.
