A Wonderful Day

Hello. Friday I spent a lovely afternoon at Angus Glen on the North Course. It was the 9th Annual Cystic Fibrosis Golf Tournament. Perfect weather. A chance to see the course for the 2007 Canadian Open. Great entertainment and friends.
During dinner, a lady named Kim Johnson, who has CF, spoke. She mentioned how her life is now, and what has been taken away by the disease, like dancing. She ended by saying she's going to dance when a cure is found. There weren't too many dry eyes in the house when she was finished.
It's very satisfying to see some of the efforts made by people to help those who are fighting this deadly disease. I'm always humbled by those who have no direct connection to CF, and who don't make any money from their efforts, putting in the time and money required to move closer to our goal of making CF a thing of the past. To all of you who are involved in a volunteer position, thank you. And please don't ever say what I've heard many times - "I'm just a volunteer". There is no such thing. Every effort, no matter how insignificant it may seem, is valuable.

Regards,
Steve
