August 30 (25)

On this date back in 1998 Jodi and I did the Richmond Triathlon (benefitting the Make a Wish Foundation).  The original inspiration for me to do a triathlon came from my friend Tim, who back in the early 80s (I think) was the first person I knew to ever do one (this was back before bike helmets were standard - although they were required for the triathlon -- so Tim ended up doing the bike leg wearing a hockey helmet).  Today is a big day for Tim and family since it is John's last day of three years of A.L.L. chemo treatment.   Way to go John!!
