My stepfather proudly wearing his Legion d’Honneur medal awarded yesterday by the French ambassador for his services on DDay as a Royal marine. A moving occasion.
1 of the most powerful experiences of my life. Watch vid to see why.
I spent 36 hrs on streets of YXE helping to bring light to hardships of those who experience poverty & homelessness. Done for fundraiser ‘Sanctum Survivor’ by @SanctumYXE.

@LeeKnafelc @JackieOttmann @momar321 Thank you so much for your willingness to open yourself up to us. It was our goal to respect the privacy of all the people we encountered, as we know this is a highly sensitive topic and we would never want to exploit people.
It was a pleasure working among all of you.
Gregg Bamford and I just can't stop talking about this (neither can Theo). I'm looking at the rain coming down outside and feeling very grateful to be inside, and to be warm, and to have enough money to buy a coffee... https://t.co/PTdUvPSmAZ
Gregg Bamford mentions in his most recent update that you can still donate to Sanctum although the challenge is over. If you've been meaning to... https://t.co/b25t8R6U63
Dr. Markentin @momar321 is a hero in our midst, and we need to support his efforts and accomplishments in shedding a light on the realities of #HIV/AIDS in our midst here in Saskatoon. @SanctumYXE and others need our help. https://t.co/PKyFbnt4vT
“No one deserves to be homeless, they just aren’t as lucky as everyone else.” Theo told me this when we got up in our home today after #SanctumSurvivorYXE
“I’m always going to travel with 50 cents or a dollar in my pocket in case someone needs it,” Theo said after his survivor experience #SamctumSurvivorYXE . The challenge is over and we’re going to bed, happy to be warm and dry.
The Gala was fantastic. Sanctum Survivor done for another year. I had a remarkable experience and want to thank all of the Survivors and organizers. What you did was amazing. #SanctumSurvivorYXE
I cannot imagine a group of people for whom I would have more respect. You are all amazing. It was my privilege to spend 36 hours learning from you. #sanctumsurivoryxe https://t.co/cu2WXQwqOe
