“On this trip, I met many new friends, discovered more about the world around me, experienced things I never dreamed of doing, and best of all, learned more about myself. If I had not taken this chance, I would not have learned as much about my abilities and what I could achieve. This trip has helped me realise that one cannot give up hope in life.”

Carol Mâ, Onatchiway Expedition 2002

“The Tip of the Toes expedition made me realise that cancer is not the end of your life, it is merely an obstacle in your life.  It is an obstacle which brings people together and makes you stronger.”

Chris Blackmore, Ellesmere Expedition 2000

“You and your organisation have done in a week what I have been trying to do for a year - give him back his desire to live, his hope in life.”

“Tip of the Toes is something we needed to regain our self-confidence.”

Tina Park, Anticosti Expedition 2001

“You are all truly special people.  What you do for our kids who are living with cancer shows not only what caring and compassionate people you are, but also great courage, because it means giving a part of yourselves to these kids. James Bay Expedition 2003 has created memories for us all that will last a lifetime, of which all of you will be part of.  Thanks for helping Craig forget, even if just for a week, and allow him to be the adventurous person all teenagers should have a right to be.  We will always smile when we think of you.”

“The whole experience from day one was the best in my life.”
