Finn Day

Oct 9, 2010 ·

Team Finn celebrate today as "Finn" day in remembrance of Finn Sullivan, who died from cancer 2 years ago today. Their mantra is Run Jump Bounce Sing Love Smile Ride; something Finn loved to do even with cancer.

I had the opportunity to hear the Finn's speak in Langley BC while riding in SNKCR. Finn's father Patrick spoke about how Finn lived and about why they as a Team do what they do and it was heart-felt and motivational. Patrick's words resonate why we all do what we do.

"I ride for life, I ride for living, maybe someday, just maybe someday someone will tell us they can because we ride." (Patrick Finn, Team Finn).


Today I did a little jumping and playing myself; what great medicine these simple words can be when you try to actually live by them.

How about we all take our "medicine" today and do some running, jumping, bouncing, singing, loving, smiling and riding; you'll be amazed at what it can do it for the world around you.
