The "Links" page of my website is for links I support and for ventures (Cameron Helps) . . . things I think are just cool (Michael Franti) . . . or other things I am involved in (Georgian Bay Coast Trail). There is nothing like being out there . . . always surprised by what comes back to you. 

We are measured not by what we possess but by how generous we are with our heart. I am not talking money. I am talking about how we give our time and attention to ideas and events that are outside our immediate lives - how we try to make differences in other lives or in our community as a whole. 

Cameron Helps is such a venture that gives back. 

My childhood friends' son committed suicide four years ago this Valentine Day. As unimaginable and painful that event has been on him and on his family, he found a way to give back by creating a suicide awareness support venture entitled Cameron Helps. Working with the Kids Help Phone, Cameron Helps supports families in dealing with this sensitive subject and supports prevention through physical activities . . . healthy body, health mind. If you live in Southern Ontario, you may want to consider the Find a Way Run,.a 5 km run this coming Father's Day as part of the Mississauga Waterfront Festival in support of Cameron Helps. Here's to you Dave, high up on my Hero scale. 

As Michael Franti says, "If you want to scare away the vampires, simply guide them into the light."

Please take the time to check out the Cameron Helps website and other ventures I support.

As far as the trip planning is going, all good. The training is going well. I skied in the Muskoka Loppet last weekend and didn't finish last (must be the new age category I am in now). We are off to Quebec next weekend to ski in the Canadian Marathon. This year's goal is 100 km in two days. 

Here's to keeping it the light!
