Thank you so much everyone! I hope this podcast has been useful, helpful, informative. One hundred episodes! This one is perhaps a little self-indulgent, but Lauren Ziaks and I talk to my three friends (make that two) who were on the bike ride with me on August 1, 2003 when I sustained my brain injury! Alain, Dawn and John were riding with me that day thankfully. They saved my life. The paramedics saved my life. The ER and ICU doctors at Victoria General Hospital saved my life. This episode is for everyone who listens, and is dedicated to more people than I can name who have helped me get here. Not just to 100 episodes, but to everything.
