Hello All!

Things have been rough over the last few months, so while and until I compose a decent and thoughtful blog entry, here is the latest on the fundraising support.

The fundraising artistic competition calls for;

'budding or established artists to submit their interpretation of the human brain'

We're excited to be a part of this little project. Mainly because they're interests David was and is very passionate about: the artistic interpretation portrayed onto something as simple as canvas and then getting it onto a tee-shirt. So simple. And of course the theme being totally related to David's case and cause. Please read up on This is a Plain Tee for more info on the concept and the project.

Thanks to Julia and Andy at This is a Plain Tee for getting on board and basically taking charge of the whole operation. And to the gentlemen at Black Coffee Lyrics for instigating and thinking proactive.

Thanks for the thoughts and the prayers.

Keep well and we hope to see some more friendly faces in the new year.

Daniel.

Good News & Salsa Night!

Hola Amigos,

This update is a mix bag relating to both Dave's progress and Amigo's fundraising efforts.
I'm happy to say that Dave was overjoyed in receiving the kind birthday wishes via facebook and more importantly with the friendly faces that have stopped by to say hello, digital or not. Since being back at home, Dave has started again with Dr. Burzynski's Antineoplaston treatment. And minus the month long hospital visit in Houston, we came home with good results from his last scan. There was close to 20 per cent reduction of his tumor! Ecstatic and joyous news we'll proceed with caution as his U.S hospitalization was due to pressure and fluid in the brain and not the tumor itself. With this in mind we'll make efforts to do what we can so that Dave can continue fighting for his ultimate goal; to regain a healthy life.

Our other priority of course is financial stability. Here the Amigos crew continue to organise fundraising events. Proceeding the Zumba event, next month's fundraiser will be 'The Amigo's Salsa Night'. It will be an evening coordinated by family and friends that helped organise last year's 'Latin BBQ in the Park'. On Saturday, August 13, you'll find us at Parkwood-Arundel Community Centre with food, music, drinks dancing and more dancing. Thanks again to the amigos involved and we're looking forward to a fun filled cultural fundraising event!
