Dear Friends…

Let me introduce to you the man of the hour, the man of the month, the man most call Corker and I call BRO….

I guess I should also mention that it was at this point that I realized I had mis-read google maps (that is what happens when you are used to traveling via a fabulous GPS – more on that later!) and our destination was in fact 50-60km away. Yikes! Change of plans…destination Sooke for lunch instead.

km100 we stop dead in our tracks on the side of the highway! This was a photo opp indeed! Not only was this Bro’s first Century Ride, but in fact when the odometer read 41.88km that was his longest ride ever. I had NO clue! (and just for the record, if you have never been on a bike before, riding 30km is very different than riding 100km!)

So in the beautiful sunshine, on beautiful Vancouver Island, with a smile all over his face (at least whenever he was within my eye-shot), Bro did something he had never done before!

But that is nothing new. And THAT my friends, is the beauty of Matt Corker! There is absolutely nothing that he won’t accomplish if he wants it bad enough. He will run a marathon on little training, but finish with a smile. He will ride 120km and give me advice on positive thoughts along the way. He is a force to reckon with, determined to drive change and leave this world just that much better. He is an inspiration, a motivation, a leader and good friend to many…but only I am so lucky to be his sister!

On this special day of celebration, my birthday wish for you is to only be around those kind of people! Thank you for being one of them in my life. Love You Bro!
