LOW is born

Some of the best decisions in life are made apparently spontaneously.

It seems that much of our lives are shaped by decisions that could seem almost random, but for the context that surrounds them....as if life has been carefully arranged so that at that one point, a big decision becomes blessedly easy. Often, the slightest shift in perspective can suddenly bring something into focus. In this case, it felt like hundreds of partial thoughts suddenly coalesced into one concrete plan.

So it was that Love on Wheels was born in 10 minutes in a hotel room in Ottawa. The plan was (and is) simple: Sarah and I would bike from Ottawa to the east coast in 2010 with Mom and Dad driving a support vehicle, and we would to raise money for a charity we believed in. And here we are, a year and a half later, with bikes purchased, vacation days booked, a tentative route set, a charity selected, and our first donations in the bank. The way we made the decision lent it an air of destiny, and feels like it would take a lot to stop us now.

I hope you join us on our journey, whether by reading our blog, sending us good vibes, donating to the Stephen Lewis Foundation (more on that later), or teaching us something.....there are certainly a few things we still have to learn.
