The charity I am supporting is the CHEO Foundation.

Charities and the people they support need our help more than ever and that is why I’ve signed up for RBC Race for the Kids on October 16-17 to raise much-needed funds for youth charities around the world.

I am participating in the RBC Race for the Kids event to support mental health programs at CHEO. Your donation will ensure each patient has access to the care that will be most beneficial for them, regardless of their age or the reason for their visit.

Please consider making a donation to my page.

Thank you from me and all the RBC Race for the Kids participants and charities!

Miss you Shane

Monday 6th Sep


Blog post - Miss you Shane from Cameron:

My uncle Shane struggled with addiction for over ten years.  He always put his best foot forward trying to overcome his fears and his addiction.  He went through long periods of not using drugs, unfortunately, he lost the battle to carfentanil.

Shane lost the battle, but to his family he was a hero trying to fight the demons of addiction.  He suffered severely from anxiety and depression, and OCD for most of his life.  Unfortunately, he self medicated with drugs, mostly opioids to try and pacify these fears.

Shane had a big heart, a bright smile and an infectious laugh.  He was talented in Art and was a naturally gifted athlete.  His passion was golf and snowboarding.  He loved to build snowboarding ramps and putting greens in our backyard.

The addiction to drugs did not define who Shane was, he was a loving son, a caring grandson, an amazing brother to 4 siblings and the most cherished Uncle to 2 nieces and 7 nephews.  He had so much compassion, and always showed kindness and love towards his family and his friends. He touched the lives of many; he could always feel and see other people’s pain and struggles and reached out to try to help them.  He saw the good in everyone.
