And if you've read this far, then you've already demonstrated a keen enough interest to sink your teeth into what comes next!! Consider the following:
I am just an average Canadian. This blog is the story of something I did for a cause I feel strongly about. What about you? What do you feel strongly about? There is no cause too little or too big, and likewise, no effort you make is too little or too big. As much as I hope that this event might send a loud message of support and compassion for those struggling in Japan to "Gambaro!" or "Stay Strong!", I also hope that it stands as an example of taking positive action for something you believe in!
Well worth checking out!
Now, if you've read this far - you deserve a real treat!!:
