Message from Steve

I have had the honor to be able to help families just like mine who every day battle together to make the life of a loved one a little brighter. It has been an incredible experience and I thank each and every person that helped out along this journey. From the cab drivers in each city to the hotel staff in the many awesome places that I stayed in to the flight staff on the the many planes I flew on. All the volunteers from the Alzheimer's Society across Canada who made each skate special in there own way and to the many people who came out to bring me a coffee a sandwich even seafood chowder in PEI.

 Special thanks to

Judy Brandow who without her passion for helping people and her attention to detail none of this could have taken place you would have found me frozen in a snow bank.

 To the band ACDC I cannot put into words what I mean when I talk about getting lost in my music. I was 18 when i saw the band for the first time and I grew up from 1978 listening to every album that came out so it was really easy to crank that incredible guitar sound in my earbuds for hours and hours to forget about everything else in my life and just slide  there were many nights at 3 and 4 am with the snow blowing and the temperature on numerous occasions dropping below -30 when I guess I could have said it was to crazy out here but thankfully that never happened my music always seem to guide me through it I would just turn it up louder and just get lost in my music.

Only in the past few years  have I  come to realize how much 1926 skating for other people helped me deal with my own Mental Health challenges and allowed me to not only face my demons but in fact crush them and now the story is being put to print upon my retirement in December 2025

to be included in this piece is an honor
