"A Family Tradition for 130 Years" fundraiser August 22 By Kelly Lown Port Perry Star Barry Smoke of Peter- borough was not expected to walk or talk ever again, but this month he is launching an 800- kilometre bike tour cam- paign. The Barry Bikeman bike tour will begin in Pe- terborough and take him through Port Perry and Oshawa on his way to Ot- tawa as a way to promote awareness of head inju- ries and to raise funds for local head injury associa- tions. "Four years ago I was in a hospital bed, comatose and suffering from a head injury. Most people wrote me off as a "vegetable" who would never walk or talk again. Not only am I walking and talking I am in the middle of training for a highly demanding bike tour," he said. His bike tour will arrive in Port Perry in the after- noon of August 22 and pro- ceed to Oshawa the next day. Each day in Ontario 34 people sustain an injury to the brain and brain injury is the leading killer and disabler of males under the age of 35. Mr. Smoke believes all communities must try to understand more about the problem and to raise money for supportofits victims. "My story is not unique. There are thousands of other people like me who have struggled against the stereotypes and have battled back t. lead fulfill- ing lives. You may have crossed paths with many of us already," he said.
