He Walks, She Rocks
An 885 km journey on the Bruce Trail in support of the MS Society of Canada
The Journey
He Walks, She Rocks* was a fundraising project that raised over $10,500 for Canadians living with Multiple Sclerosis. It entailed an 885km walk by Jason Meyers on the beautifully rugged Bruce Trail in Ontario and a series of folk music concerts by Bri-anne Swan within the many communities along the way. The adventure started April 18th in Niagara Falls and concluded May 20th in Tobermory.
Images from the Journey have been posted here.
A huge thank-you to everyone who helped make this journey a success.
Jason & Bri-anne.

Jason, you rock…so do you Bri-Anne. I hope you’ll be picking up stones along the way and leaving them down on the path like on the Camino. I’d love to hook up with you somewhere along the way and walk a bit of the path. My sister is in Grimsby so maybe I could talk her into having you over for dinner. Let me know what day you will be travelling through there and I’ll meet you.
Buen Camino, pilgrim.

Jason and Bri, I heard about your adventure through Chris (James) and Bill Berry in Southampton. I believe you are a friend of Chris’ son, Jason.
We wish you well on your B T adventure. We have hiked a lot of the trail from OS to the Tub and my husband, Jack has done the Niagara and Shelbourne area also. You are more than welcome to stay at our home with meals while you are in the Owen Sound area. We would be glad to pick you up and drop you back to the trail. all you need domis let us know when you hope to be in OS. / Donna McMurdo

Hi Jason,
It was nice meeting you at MEC and learning about your journey. Too bad our hike finished before you make it to Tobermorey but we’ll be sure to spread the word ahead of you!

Heard you had a great time with Jack and Donna in Owen Sound. Aren’t they great people? We’ll see you tomorrow night at Rural Rootz.

Jason – It looks to me like you are getting close to the end of your journey. I’m sure that the whole thing must feel a little unreal at this time. I just want you to know how much I admire what you are doing, and how I wish I was in Ontario this week, and not next, so i could walk a day or two with you.
Onwards, peaceful warrior!!
