As his caregiver, friend, and sister, Brad\u2019s legacy lingered in Kristi\u2019s thoughts through the years as she raised her own family, built and sold businesses, was challenged by both success and failure, and travelled around the globe\u2014she always kept his memory close to her heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe loved biking and bikepacking. He was an athletic guy who just loved the outdoors,\u201d says Kristi of her brother.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entering into the mid-part of her life with her children self-reliant and her business obligations manageable, Kristi decided to plan and depart for the journey she had fostered in her imagination for twenty-six years.&nbsp; The pandemic and forest fires curtailed her plans in 2021, but this year she was ready. An experienced cyclist, trained and fit, Kristi began her journey on July 4, 2022. She flew her bike, specialty food, and gear to Calgary, assembled it, and hit the road to Cochrane Alberta, her first stop.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After her brother died, Kristi discovered at the back of his chemistry lab notebook, a journal he wrote about his own journey to Vancouver in 1989. She never opened it, kept it sealed, to read only when she began the trek herself. Not only was she reading his notebook for the first time and following his route, but she was also writing her first attempt at a blog and social media posts to encourage donations to Algonquin Grace Hospice Huntsville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trans-Canada highway is not the favored route for cyclists passing through the Rockies. Prepared to camp out when necessary, Kristi was helped enormously through the assistance of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.warmshowers.org\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Warmshowers.Org<\/span><\/a>, which supports cyclists with meals, shower facilities, and good cheer. On her first night out, Kristi was told she would be facing stiff headwinds taking the route she proposed, but she was determined to follow the route as her brother had.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For eight to twelve hours a day, Kristi biked the secondary highways leading to Vancouver. She listened to music, absorbed the scenery amused by podcasts recommended to her by her children, and pondered the precious moments in life. She read Brad\u2019s journal, which accompanied her for the ride through his written words. Even though she didn\u2019t follow Brad\u2019s exact route as outlined in his journals, their paths gathered up again on the other side of the mountains.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She met fellow riders from around the world, which she really enjoyed and cherished. Kristi covered close to 1,400 kilometers in the sixteen days of her trip.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The loss of her brother Brad had an intense impact on Kristi\u2019s life. Not only was his diagnosis and treatment debilitating, but it also destroyed his marriage and derailed many of his aspirations. In her blog, <a href=\"https:\/\/bradsride.ca\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">https:\/\/bradsride.ca\/<\/span><\/a>, Kristi describes an outing her brother took to a racecar course. \u201cSo when he was sick he signed up at a racing school in the Laurentians in Montreal. \u201cPhysically exhausted, mentally exhilarated,\u201d was one of his entries into the journal he had for his Montreal trip.\u201dHe lived his life, even though sick, to the fullest.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly one in two Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime, states Canadian <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/public-health\/services\/chronic-diseases\/cancer\/canadian-cancer-statistics.html\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Cancer Statistics<\/span><\/a>. Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Few cities or small towns have dedicated palliative care. Along with other inspired Huntsville people, Kristi MacDonald worked toward the early formation of Algonquin Grace Hospice in Huntsville. As a caregiver for a cancer patient in the late stages of the disease, who was able to keep her brother\u2019s care primarily at home, Kristi fully acknowledges the purpose and value of dedicated services for end-of-life preparation, both for patients and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An event of this stature and momentous dedication often reveals more than can be expected. \u201cReally before I did the ride, I could only see the grief of the loss. And it\u2019s, (her cycling journey that), really helped me to see the life I still get to share. He influences me still to this day. I would have never been a bike packer. It would have not been on my horizon and it\u2019s something that I did because of him and will continue to do, I think, in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While her journey was a commemoration of her brother\u2019s life and legacy, it touched her own as well as the life of those who shared the adventure through her blog and social media posts.&nbsp; In her own words, she describes the outcome of the choice she made to honour him. \u201cI started to find life again one second at a time, one minute at a time, one hour at a time, one day at a time, one week at a time, one month at a time, one year at a time&#8230;\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Donations are still being accepted for Algonquin Grace Hospice Huntsville, in Brad Bobbie&#8217;s name. To date, \u201cBradsride, \u201d has raised $4,225.00.
