On September 3rd I will be celebrating seven years with Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation. On September 3rd, 2003 I remember my first day at PMHF like it was yesterday. I had spent the month of July working as a volunteer at PMH to “learn the ropes, observe the culture and find my way around”. As it turns out, it was the best way I could have spent a month before joining PMH. I witnessed first hand the extraordinary staff, volunteers and patients of PMH. I wore a mask and a plastic visor while working with Barb at the reception desk as it was still during the Sars scare. Neville Kirchmann, Lionel Robins, Bob Bell and so many others helped me in the transition to my new calling. Two weeks in, I walked in the first Weekend to End Breast Cancer and it was literally one of the highlights of my life. So in two weeks time, I will be walking in our all new Weekend to End Women’s Cancers. I am still incredibly inspired, in awe really, of the people, volunteers, walkers, colleagues, community who support PMH. This seven years has absolutely flown by. I have way too many great memories, people I think of, people to thank to start flooding my blog……I just am thinking I am the luckiest guy in the world to be able to have my daily work be in service to one of the world’s great cancer hospitals and research enterprises. Seven years in, this job, these people I work with, this cause….they all just light me up! Have a GREAT Labour Day Weekend. Princess Margaret, to borrow a famous quote…..”YOU MAKE ME WANT TO BE A BETTER MAN!” Thanks for seven extraordinary years!
