Gary, and I are very proud to announce that our 18 year old son Blaine, has recently received a prestigious National Millennium Scholarship for his commitment to school, the community and mostly for his concerns for others. Over the past year he established a charity called “THE SHOE CONNECTION” . His goal is to collect and distribute good used running shoes to help people in need. To date he has sent shoes to Haiti, 9 Homeless and Youth Shelters in Toronto, and is currently working with the Kenyan Embassy, and a desperately needy village in Panama.

Blaine is currently attending The University of Western Ontario and is pre-accepted to the Ivey School of Business. He plans to continue to expand his charity, recruit other student representatives and speak on the need to help others.
