Ottawa

Full day. We were quire anxious this morning about driving to the parliament building at 1100 — we had to wait on a street for 15 minutes before riding there. There was quite a large group waiting for us clapping their hands. It really is quite moving having people so grateful for what we are doing. One of the women was teary-eyed as she thanked us — it turns out that 9 years ago her son (29) committed suicide because of his illness.

CPAC, a TV station, was there and videoed us getting a pin and then interviewed us. Many pictures were taken and then about 15 of us went out for lunch. all in all very nice — also quite exhausting — their stories are very sad.
