1926 skate

Since 2012 I have been an honored to skate on behalf of all the families battling with Alzheimer's and Dementia

36 events in Canada over the past 12 years each lasting for 19 hours 26 minutes on behalf of the year my mother Eunice McNeil was born and to honor her 20 year battle with Alzheimer's. 693 hours on the ice outdoors in some of the most beautiful places in Canada raising thousands of dollars for Alzheimer's society .

I have had the pleasure of meeting Canadians from coast to coast from every walk of life and some celebrity's from the hockey world the music world the sports world and yes the political world showing up in sometimes some very harsh weather conditions from extreme cold to pouring rain blizzards like conditions and even 0 degrees

Now in 2025 this is the first year that I will not be skating for charity and at 63 years old my body has told me it's time to hang EM up and start working on the book and the documentary film telling the story of How 1926skate started why I started the marathon skating events and how after 13 years I realized how much I was skating for myself and my own mental health .

Being Bullied in the workplace by a very powerful management person was my driving force behind outskating my demons .

This is a story about taking a bad situation and turning it into a good situation hence the title of the documentary

FROM BAD COMES GOOD

Now in January 2025 I will be retiring from Canada Post and focusing on doing some public speaking engagements and podcasts on Bullying in the workplace to try and help people who find themselves in what seems like a nightmare they thought only happened to other people and to help corporations bring a positive environment to the workplace .

I'm looking forward to the next chapter in my life and spending some time Fishin in Ontario
