Sick Kids Car Rally

I was asked to participate in a car rally a few weeks ago. The idea was that people would bid on the chance to drive a cool car and the top bidders would pick their "celebrity " to ride in the car and do the rally with them.
My friend who invited me informed me that I was one of the "celebrities". Glad she told me cause I woulda been looking all around otherwise . . .watching for the celebrities which included Goldie Hawn ( love her) , the guy who played Carlton on Fresh Prince ( Alonzo. . .that guy who can sing really well and is super funny) and Curtis Josephs ( former Leaf's goalie who had his picture taken with my date Emilie-Claire Barlow!) to name only a few.

Luckily someone picked me early on in the "draft pick " and i got to ride with a great team the following day. We went all over Toronto and did some pretty silly stuff but the highlight was finding out at the end of the day that over $1,000,000 was raised during the weekend for cancer research at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto. Not bad.

    Fortunately, the former Leafs forward was only part of the activities that were part of the Car Rally for Kids with Cancer Scavenger Cup, a fund-raising rally for Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children.
