Well, speaking to the walk participants after our Great Strides Walk was going to be a little daunting. I've had my speech written out for a few weeks, and I've been practicing when I can, getting ready for May 30th. Fortunately, tomorrow I'll get the chance to have a "dry run". Myself and another CCFF member are attending a Professional ( Read more... )

Charity Poker Tournament for CF is completed, and we raised a total of $350 for our team in the GSW and the CCFF. That happened lastnight, and involved lots of cheap food, cheap beer, and good laughs. I'll be sure to write more on the subject, when I've actually gotten some sleep and had some time to reflect on the whole deal.

I needed to get this off my chest, since she will never read what I had to say.

The day before Eva passed, I wrote her a letter, in this card. The card has a lovely message, and I want to share with you my final words for Eva... I needed her to know the profound impact she made on my life, and since she won't get this letter, I desire to share it ( Read more... )

So, we're going ahead with the charity poker tournament here in Regina. I wanted to post the invitation that is being sent out to our guests today. The images didn't copy over from Word, so it looks more colourful and inviting with the pictures. Hoping to have 20 players, with two games of 10. We have 5 volunteers, 2 dealers, 2 cashiers and 1 ( Read more... )

I'm going to be interviewed for television, on a spot called "Around Town" on Global TV highlighting local events. I'll be speaking about the Great Strides Walk for CF... What it is, what we're raising money for, and where/when it's being held. Kinda excited about that! Haven't been on television since Grade 4, when I was interviewed about "Bats", ( Read more... )

I'm still collecting donations and looking for sponsors in the Great Strides Walk for CF. I will be walking with my team, "Recycled Parts" on Sunday, May 30th here in Regina, SK.

I have set a personal goal of raising $1,500 for the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and am still trying to reach that fundraising goal. If you can help out, a little ( Read more... )

... is so touched this morning! The good in humanity will never cease to amaze me... And if you need any proof at all on how Eva's story affected people and lives in this world, this is a perfect example ( Read more... )

Am I ever lucky? Am I ever blessed? Am I ever rich in this life... And not rich in any monetary sense (because that's so far from the truth), but rich in love, and relationships. Wow.

Of all the many positive things Eva did for me in my life, the lessons she taught me about living and love will be with me for the rest of my existence, and for that I ( Read more... )

CF Warrior: A  resillient, relentless person who fights the good fight against Cystic Fibrosis.
Cystic Fibrosis: Relentless.
Eva: Inspiration, beauty, courage, hope. Warrior. Angel.

This weekend, we lost two CF warriors.
May you both be breathing easy, Eva & Jennifer. I hope Heaven had one heck of a party waiting for you two, and that you're dancing ( Read more... )

The proverbial "full plate", as in I can't believe how full my plate is! I'm not complaining or anything... I told someone recently that "hard work" doesn't instill fear in me. But I do get overwhelmed, like most human beings do at times. Just sitting on my computer, for the 20th-some hour in the past 3 days, and felt I should release some of my ( Read more... )
