I was watching a local news program the other day and the guest speakers caught my eye. It was a group of four young guys who recently skateboarded across Canada to raise awareness for breast cancer. They've also recently been appointed the parade marshalls of the Calgary Stampede, which might not mean much to most of you, but the position of Parade Marshall is usually held by .... well ... someone famous, such as Walt Disney, Prince Charles, Jack Lemen, etc. I think this goes to show that cancer-related causes are gaining more awareness every day, which is so promising.The names of these unlikely heroes are Carlos Koppen, Rob Lewis, Aaron Jackson and Benjamin Jordan, and their cause is called Push for the Cure. I think they are fabulous, and you should check out their website if you get a chance. Be sure to watch the video -- it gives me goosebumps.
At the beginning of May, four skateboarders -- Rob Lewis, 26, of Winnipeg, Aaron Jackson, 25, of Summerside, P.E.I., Benjamin Jordan, 25, of Toronto and Carlos Koppen, 26, of Halifax -- left Halifax, Nova Scotia to skateboard across Canada to benefit breast cancer.
