I know her Dad, good family, real salt of the earth people and this doesn't surprise me at all. What did surprise me was Hughie's saying that he's not the reason she's bullheaded ;D

He claims that it skips a generation.

 

[Scott]

Hahaha, he's a lying sack of shit ;D

I plan to tell him so when I see him next.

Seriously, if she's anything like her Dad then she has a heart of gold, and I think it shows here.

Good day to all, I was informed yesterday that I have made it to the final list of 72 for the Scotiabank Game Changers.  This means that I will have a chance at being selected for the final 8.  If I get to the final 8 then that would mean a chance at $100,000 for the my new charitable endowment fund the Canadian Torch Foundation.

Thank you to all who have voted and I hope you continue to vote daily,  my profile will be listed under the "Finalist" tab in the next few days so please continue to vote when and if you can.

Pte Rob Webster and MGen Semianiw after receiving the TML's jersey. Sorry Sens,Cal,Edm,Van and Montreal fans but Rob and I still Be-Leaf. LOL  (Army Run Sept 21st 2008)

Duty With Honour
Soldier On
Sgt Andrew McLean

I was asked about this jersey that Rob received from LtGen Semianiw.  I got the jersey while playing in a golf tourny for the Make a Wish Foundation, it was an item up for auction along with two tickets to an upcoming Toronto Maple Leafs game. (great seats)  I bid on the auction item and payed $880.00 dollars for the jersey and tickets.  As some of you know Johnny Bower visited Rob while in hospital and it was a pleasure to set that up and to further get the jersey into Rob's hands... the tickets went back to the Make a Wish Foundation to be used at their discretion.

Soldier On developed from investing and it was the grass roots who made it the program it is today. 

I great pleasure and honour that I hold close to my heart each and every day.

Thanks to all who support and who continue to do what they can to make a difference.

Hi everyone,

Here is a link to vote for a Navel veteran who needs all our support.  It takes a few seconds to vote,  please help Eric and his family.  I have sent them the contact info for Soldier On/Sans Limites and hopefully they are able to find them more support, but in the meantime we can do our small part.

This story, about Prince Harry leading the UK team has gotten far more publicity here in Canada than this story about the Canadian team for the South Pole Allied Challenge.


This is all over the media, including our own National Post


I had to get to the second or third page of my Google search to find this

More on the South Pole Allied Challenge 2013 here, incl bios of MCpl Chris Downey and Cpl Alexandre Beaudin D’Anjou.

In September 2013, a group of 30 military cyclists will ride 566km, from Quebec to Ottawa, to raise awareness towards the Soldier On program.  We have a goal of 70 000$ that we hope to hand out the Soldier On fund at the Army run on Sept 22nd.  In order to assist the team in reaching their goal, we need exposure to motivate Canadians to give donations that will help our injured Soldiers.  We are affiliated to the army run website to collect the funds, pass this information onwards and share the link to all your friends and family.  It's very easy and the money will go a long way to help the brave that got injured serving their country.
