WWW.WENDY'S BATTLE.COM
What a difference a week makes.It was cold and kind of crappy out on the long weekend but this weekend it's been perfect. I'm glad yesterday turned out to be so nice because I was playing golf at a charity golf tournament.
I don't usually talk all that much in my blog anymore about really super personal stuff because well, I just don't. That being said, sometimes maybe it's a good idea if I do. Lots of people are checking out my blog these days so in this case I feel like this is an opportunity to spread the word about something even more important than my show or this crazy ass pursuit of a network deal.
A person who is very close to my family and I was recently diagnosed with Colon Cancer. Initially, news from the doctors wasn't good and to make things worse,a drug that Wendy has needed ended up not being covered by Ohip here in Ontario like it is out West and in Quebec. Wendy has done a great job of explaining the details of her situation in her blog so please Go to www.wendysbattle.com and check it out!
Over the summer,a few different charity events are being planned to raise money to help cover some of the cost of the drugs that Wendy is now paying for herself. Yesterdays golf tournament was a huge success and I find it amazing how generous and compassionate people are sometimes. Alot of the people at the golf tournament didn't even know Wendy and were invited by a friend or had become aware of Wendy's situation after hearing about her website and reading her blog.I urge any of you who are interested to do the same.
Yesterday was a great day and it was incredible to see so many people rallying to support Wen in her battle against cancer. If you guys have any idea's for things we might be able to do here this summer at jrdigs.com with regards to fund raising,let me know.In the meantime,check out www.wendysbattle.com and read Wendy's blog.It's unbelievable that the richest province in the Country continues to deny the same quality of health care that other Provinces provide to the people who live in those Provinces and the sad thing is that I guess we never really think or worry that much about things like this until we have to.
Now that I have to, I hope I can help to begin to change things before one of you guys living here in Ontario have to!
