Walking Across Canada
Status: Research Phase

Fire. The element of energy, movement, and passion, The opportunity to learn more about the fire that burns within oneself.

After spending so much time away from my home to explore the rest of the world, I think it's time to get to know Canada a bit better. Fire represents my passion and patriotism for my country, a burning desire to be surrounded by its great outdoors, as well as the metabolic energy - the blood, sweat and tears - used to travel across its huge expanse.

In the spring of 2011, I intend to travel the entire length of Canada without mechanical advantage - from Victoria to St. John's - using the Trans Canada Trail. This journey will be a combination of walking, cross-country skiing, showshoeing and canoeing and will cover up to 12,000 km - that's about 15.6 million steps!

The Cause of this project is to raise awareness and funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.

What is the Trans Canada Trail and what will I encounter along the way? Visit Trail Info to find out!

How can I carry camping gear, food and other necessities? The answer is to build a hand-cart which can tackle just about any terrain. Protoypes of this device are known as the Chariots of Fire!

What about electricity, communications and navigation needs? These topics are explored with Project Research.

Funding the project to purchase maps, food, communications equipment and athletic gear will require Project Supporters.
