McGill Dances for Cancer Research Lipdub

October 6th, 2011

Every view is worth a donation to this institution. Although McGill is not my alma mater this is just an amazing idea and I fully endorse it. Good luck guys!

From the video summary:

To highlight some of the critical work being done at the Goodman Cancer Research Centre, we gathered some of our top scientists, students, lab techs and dedicated volunteers, who turned on the music -- and danced!

Thanks to our proud sponsor, Medicom, a donation will be made for each hit to support advances in cancer research at the Goodman Cancer Research Centre.

Thank you for your tremendous interest and support!

In memory of Donna Howell

September 27th, 2011

Every year CIBC hosts the Run for the Cure, a fundraiser for breast cancer research. Every since Donna Howell, my girlfriend’s best friend’s mother, was diagnosed with breast cancer, she and her friends have participated in the event.

What makes Donna’s case extra sad is that she took the proper precautions to detect breast cancer but her test results were among those that were ruined from the Cameron Inquiry.

Donna was one of the survivors who actively spoke out regarding the inquiry.

Two years ago this month Donna Howell lost her battle with breast cancer.

As per usual, my girlfriend is participating in the run, despite being away all her friends this year. It is a great cause and any contributions are greatly appreciated.

Please take a moment to pledge on behalf of Donna and all those who suffer with breast cancer.

Support Cystic Fibrosis – support a friend

May 27th, 2011

A friend of mine, Matthew Cahill, has cystic fibrosis. It’s a disease that affects the lungs as well as other parts of the body that is one of the most common, deadly, inherited disorders in America.

Matthew is second from the left in the back row

A few years ago Matthew required a double lung transplant, a risky operation that had a chance of extending his life.  His operation was successful and as a result Matthew is as healthy as ever.

Two years ago I was lucky to have Matthew on my ultimate team, Tune Squad. Yes. Less than a year after his operation and he was running around. Not just taking a light jog. Running.

Our team went undefeated and won the championship, largely in part to his great efforts.

Matthew is able to enjoy his new lungs because of cystic fibrosis research.

Now it’s your chance to get involved and make a difference. Cystic Fibrosis Canada is running a walk-a-thon called Great Strides to raise money for this worthy cause.

Please take a couple dollars and support me as I walk for a good cause and my friend Matthew. Every little bit helps.
