Help Brian raise money

For participating in Growling Beaver 2017

My Story…

I am riding for my good friend, Blair Rasmussen who has been living with Parkinsons for over 13 years. Blair and I rowed together at Western University in the 1980s, I was learning the sport and he was an elite rower having represented Canada at the World Juniors. We trained, and raced together domestically and internationally for a number of years. I learned many things from Blair about rowing, competing, friendship and life generally. A few of those things are not relevant to my life anymore, but many still are, particularly, the lessons about friendship and life. I continue to learn from Blair, since his diagnosis with Parkinsons, he has shown me that real strength is not about sport or personal bests, it is about confronting and overcoming obstacles whatever those are. As a rower, Blair was a very strong athlete, as a person he is possibly the strongest person I know. You too can learn from Blair by reading his blog posts at lifeinparkinsonswake.blogspot.ca - enjoy.
