Have you ever had a dream that you just couldn’t ignore?

Our dream is to travel to all seven continents!

Despite the challenges!

One of our children, Kasenya, has Cerebral Palsy and uses a wheelchair. She is also a type 1 diabetic.

This is what we’ve done so far:

Six Continents

Sixteen Countries

10 Canadian Provinces

Countless Cities

And now the biggest challenge of all  Antarctica!

But its not only about us .....

Throughout our travels we have made a point of volunteering and connecting with programs especially for children with disabilities. These connections have not only changed our travels but our lives.

Vietnam

2013

In 2013 our family will be travelling to Vietnam to work with kids with disabilities and their families.

We will be working as volunteers with No Ordinary Journey Foundation to bring educational materials and medications to kids with Cerebral Palsy in Vietnam.

But more  importantly, we will be making connections, helping to change attitudes toward children with a disability and letting children and parents know that they are not alone.

No Ordinary Journey Foundation

This not-for-profit was created to fill a gap in services available to  children with physical disabilities in the developing world.  In resource poor areas of the world, such as Vietnam, people with disabilities and especially children, are the last to benefit from economic growth. Programs to train and educate individuals and families in managing disabilities such as Cerebral Palsy help lift them from poverty and bring dignity to their lives.
