I woke up to clouds and rain, yet again mother nature has decided
to put a strain on my day off. I made a commitment to walk with the Fontaine's
for their son Mac, who has juvenile diabetes. This annual event takes place at
the Assiniboine Park, Mac and his family look forward to it every year.
Regardless of the weather, we - my son and I - laced up our
sneakers and headed to the park to take part in the walk.
When we arrived, it was nothing like we had imagined. Tents were
set up, bouncers for the kids, and musical entertainment. It was quite the
event. The 5KM walk ended with lunch supplied by Granny's Poultry and a demo by
the Bae's Martial Arts kids.
The foundation raised over $200,000 this year. Supporting a
wonderful little boy by walking with his family and friends was priceless - the
kids had fun and understood the importance of walking for a cure for juvenile
diabetes.
