Tour For Kids to cancel childhood cancer rolls through Haliburton

Rob Meyers rides for Minden’s lost survivor Dawson Hamilton
 Terrance Gavan - Camp White Pine
“Tyler, we miss you.” 
“For Amelia and all our angels – we’ll never forget.”
   Dedications writ so humble; on a wet wall of eulogies and well wishes; penned ‘mongst a sharpie collage.   
   The austere plastic wall, chockablock with sinewy, esoteric and passionate designations summed up a four-day ride for cancer that stopped in Haliburton and Camp White Pine on Saturday night - and departed on a super slick rain-splattered highway very early Sunday morning.
   Over 600 riders. Support staff. Organizers. For some a full 800 clicks. For others, lesser distance, same enthusiasm.
