How: I’m not really prepared for this. I honestly don’t know if I have the fortitude to do it. I will be counting on the kindness of friends and strangers. Here’s some of what I need:
- please donate to the fund to support of GLBT folks living in poverty
- I am looking for relay support teams anywhere along my journey. If you can take any time off an meet me somewhere along the Journey and drive my pack to the next 30km destination, I would be eternally grateful. Having to carry a pack will slow me down by half of what I want to walk in a day.
- people who might put me up for a night along the route
- or give my pack a ride to the next destination.
- if you or any one you know anyone who has a boat on the Great Lakes and wants to give me a ride near the end of June
- feed me, water me.
“the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. these persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. beautiful people do not just happen….. they are made” ~Elizabeth Kübler Ross
Hang in there, we are all thinking of you and wishing we could do more to help. So grateful for the others who have helped you on your journey.
Love and hugs,

Hi Shaira, I have been following your Pilgrimage for sometime now. Having walked in over 25 different countries (peacewalks) and having lost the love of my life three years ago,(see http://www.lindaderek.com) I feel a deep connection to you and your journey. I applaud and admire your courage to complete your walk at this time, it is perfect. I had planned on writing to you and asking if I could join you in Ontario for a few days. I still would like to be in contact, so if you would like this also, please get in touch with me at your convenience.
