Team Heart & Hustle
Team Heart and Hustle has been created in memory of Bobby McKenzie, a young man known up and down the Island and across the country for athletic endeavours, compassion, kindness, sportsmanship and for me, his ability to connect with people when they most needed it. Bobby was killed in a car accident this year, and in his memory, we are spreading the word about blood - and now stem cell - donations as far and wide as we can reach. Every donation can save up to 3 lives, and we have over 120 donations so far! On the receiving end, another young man in community survived a brain injury where he needed blood and the spouse of a member of our board recently underwent lifesaving treatment where he needed several transfusions a week. Bobby continues to live on in those very real connections.
So as champions, what can we do. Spread the word. It's that simple.
