Anyone in Regina who will be attending? I am impressed with all that Tim Donovan has done to raise awareness and to share his personal story with so many.

A woman at one of his stops asked Donovan to come see her brother as he was unable to attend the meeting. Donovan and his travelling partners drove an hour and a half out of their way to see this person.
"I walked into the room and I could not handle what I saw," admitted Donovan. "A young man 47 years old was lying in a bed who could not brush his own teeth because of MS. He could not get out of bed and he has 24 hour a day care. And my Canada and your Canada are letting him lay there. They are not treating him. I grabbed his hand and I said, 'John, I'm going to make you a promise. I'm not going to stop until we get this treatment in Canada.' He said 'thank-you Tim."
