Welcome and ...What this is About

Al Timpson

Steve and Christopher Timpson, son and grandson of Al Timpson are riding their bicycles from Bath, Ontario to Halifax, Nova Scotia in his memory, and to benefit, St John's Church in Bath, and ALS Ontario.  This is their blog.

AL TIMPSON was a well know educator who died of ALS in 2000.  He was a well know teacher and principal in Frontenac County, who had a passion for excellence in elementary education, and was active in many programs to ensure that students from all situations could start their education well.

He would have strongly supported gifts to both of these organizations.

His church was very important to him. He spent many hours supporting church both locally and on a wider scale.  Al's struggle with ALS was a hard one, as it is for so many. He faced the terrible disease with courage and grace, commenting that the killer was relentless. He would, in his very calm way note that "you just got used to losing one thing, when ALS would take something else away from you".
