Well i have to say that the 90th minute awards dinner last night was fantastic and brilliantly run by breagha Carr Harris. Alot of hard work would of gone into the night and it was a super turn out from everyone giving us the opportunity too chat to the fans and answer some questions. Congratulations to dwayne, stefan and jimmy for the awards all well deserved. After flying in that morning from the uk and attending the awards i wanted to do something while over here so asked Breagha to arrange a hospital visit to Bloor view kids unit.

She managed to arrange and i am so glad that i went their with a couple of the guys. After writing my last blog after deep thought this was something that i was eager to do. The first group of children were absolutely fantastic there and i met a beautiful little girl there called Hope. Now Hope was unable to talk or move around but she could see me. She was 3 years old but had been in there since birth. After finding out from a worker there she told me that she very rarely got visitors and that the staff classed her as part of their family. Another little guy was Joey who i remember from last year and he was full of questions and just wanted to be smiling.

Wesley was so happy to see us all and when we walked in he said ” this is the best thing in my life that has ever happened to me” which made us quiet for a minute. When children say things like that you realize what you mean to them when going to see them.

Now when you talk about special little girls/boys now Hope was the example. She was special in her own way as was everyone there. It was a super day as i went on too see lots of children there and put lots of smiles on lots of little faces. A big thank you to the staff there that welcomed  us there and i will definately return next year if allowed too.

Need to rush now as have to catch a flight back to uk this evening as going to the Wales v Scotland match tomorrow. Its been a fantastic 24 hours and some memorable moments were had.
