The War on Cancer battle report:
Last week I found myself broadcasting live @ Portage Place Edmonton Court (where the time is always 11:58... according to big clock tower) Q-94 and our sister Station 99.9 BOB FM kicked off the 1st annual First Flower of Hope - in FULL support of the Canadian Cancer Society.
We had a 2 story giant plastic daffodil and thru the course of the week - we had to fill it with yellow 'Bud Balls' @ 5 bucks a pop. The brainchild of CHUM Radio’s Chris Brooke. (above with me on the right)So it was kinda like our Christmas Miracle - only fighting Cancer.

I had the chance to talk and more importantly learn/inform all about Cancer from all kinds of great people who volunteer or work for the Canadian Cancer Society. These people know their stuff big time! I talked to a Doctor/Professor/the smartest guy I've ever met period - and asked him point blank: "So Doc... how long till we REALLY beat this thing?" He paused - and you could see the wheels in his massive brain turning..."about 20 years for sure, then yep we'll have gotten it all." Trust me if you heard the interview or know this guy you'd believe him too! I also got to meet all kinds of brave people and children who have kicked the hell out of Cancer and now help the CCS. True heroes. Positive people who were all against the odds of living but said NO WAY. I wish everyone could have met them.

It was a wonderful inspiriting week and it was an honour to be apart of the 1st of many (well hopefully not to many more) First Flower of Hope. We beat our goal - filled the daffodil and made a huge smoking dent into Cancer. Thanks to all who donated and came down or called me up.
