“Alex’s ‘Inspiration in Motion’ award as presented at halfway mark by Mayor of Kensington”:
[www.isn.net]

Excerpt from Day 7 Tip To Tip: “At Town Hall we signed the guestbook and a most incredible presentation took place. Don Smeltzer (know his name because I have his card) read the framed certificate before giving it to Alex. It was a wonderful moment. It was so beautifully written, whoever wrote it truly understood what we are advocating. Alex, as you’ll notice, is usually quite straight faced but started beaming as it was being read (Roger got it on video). I was probably beaming too, they say “Kensington has heart” being in the heart of PEI, we got a real demonstration of that today.”
