TWIG relay for life-Birdman Style

Hey boys and girls
Birdman swooping in from vacation for a second!

As you may have seen from our recent video blog of sorts, TWIG made an appearance for the Canadian Cancer Society for the first ever Cape Croker Relay for life for the Canadian Cancer Society.

My girlfriend Blaire and I drove down from near North Bay to Niagara Falls to come and grab the ever infamous Snowball and bring him back to the area into which we both used to call home at one point. We did however hit WALLS of traffic but that did not dampen our spirits as we trudged northward.

We made it home and just kinda planned out what was going to happen at Cape Croker and how we would handle the event as this was our second MC'ing gig since our C'est What appearance at Podcamp 2007. However we knew in the end we would do fine.....but as always we had a plan for how the evening would go...kick ass as always.

Now I will let the video blog stand for itself and how the event actually went down but I'll share some of my thoughts.

Being at one of these events really does bring out alot in people and especially when you see how this disease has affected people. I know that cancer does bring out some real sources of inner strength in people and it's really inspiring.

I myself have had my life touched by cancer,I lost one of my best teachers pass away due to a brain tumor when I was in grade 4. His name was Dave Dinkel and he was an awesome teacher and I think some of his lessons and kindness survived in me and perhaps my sense of imagination still remembers those books he used to read to us.

However, I'll keep this short and sweet and I'll say that the Relay for Life is truly inspiring and I recommend listening to the survivor stories...and I'll always remember this from the event
When life kicks you....kick back.

I'll remember that for quite some time.

Birdman
out!
