Here is a pic from the Mud Hero event in Ottawa on May 31/14. It was an amazing experience! Never in my life would I have thought I could take part in something so fun & challenging/difficult, to me. I am so glad I pushed myself to do this. I even overcame a couple of my fears!!
Referral to Ottawa: Jan/11 Info Session: May/11 Nurse: Feb/12 Dietician/Behavourist/Abdominal Scan: Apr/12 Pre-op Education Class: Feb. 6/13 Meet Surgeon Feb.15/13 Surgery with Dr. Raiche March 12/13!!
The race isn't given to the swift nor the strong, but it's given to the ones who endure it to the end...
Way to go! I had a group of friends there yesterday, they were the McNab Mommas (all wearing pink t-shirts with it on). I would have liked to go, but I was in Westmeath helping out with a Blind Angler's tournament that I commited to before I knew about the race. If the dates work out, would love to try this next year! It looks like a riot!
