Kash Dash - a reminder of our responsibility to Africa

work Canadian Doctors are doing with micro projects.

Canadian Physicians for Aid and Relief hosts annual charity run

The annual Kash Dash for African Relief turned lucky 13 last Saturday.
   The 10 K run – along with the 1 K fun run for kids - is organized by local physician, Dr. Steve Ferracuti with all proceeds going to Canadian Physicians for Air and Relief (CPAR).
   How to place cogent perspective on CPAR, and all of that good work they do in Eastern Africa?
   That’s a tough nut to crack, crunch and canoodle here in cottage country – surrounded by … All. This. Water. 
   Tougher yet, because we’d have to place ourselves in sandals - or even better barefoot - on a dry, dusty road in Uganda or Tanzania.
  And we’d have to pop up the heat just a bit from the 29 degrees C we had last Saturday, to an even 40 Celsius.
   And just for spits and giggles … let’s doff that sexy Hi-Dri gear, the Coppertone, the blister-repelling socks, and the $120 shoes.

Terrance Gavan for Seamus
Yes catching up here folks from a busy weekend and my writing nite which typically starts at 1 am and moves through to 8 am and then I’m off to the aircraft plant for a full day of work on Tuesday. After that it’s off to soccer and then I sleep.
What happened this past weekend?
A lot.
Check out the Voice for several articles regarding local sports.
