Biography

CP24 Breakfast Show

I had a fabulous morning at the CP24 Breakfast studio's with presenters Gurdeep Ahluwalia and Pooja Handa. All the team were fully on-board with Tartan Day and really helped promote the Sick Kids Foundation. 

I arrived at the studio's around 8:30am, where I met up with the Nancy Richards from the Nancy Richards School of Highland Dancers and Ann & Steve from WeeDanMusic, who were also going to take part in the morning show. Sandra from the RSCDS turned up around 9:15 to perform some Scottish dancing.

I bought 2 of my Campbell kilts, including sporran, socks, flashes and even a sgian dubh, for the presenters to wear on the show - luckily both were my waist size. Presenter Gurdeep Ahluwalia and weather presenter Jamie Gutfreund, were brilliant and took to wearing the kilts. If you had watched the breakfast, you would have seen how much fun the presenters had during the show.

I spoke a little about kilts, Tartan Day and the Sick Kids Foundation and then it was stevie's tern to let Gurdeep Ahluwalia have a go on the pipes and play for the dancers.

Sponsor me for Tartan Day

Sponsor me for Tartan Day.

If you are unable to make this years Tartan Day, there is another way of helping me raise money for Sick Kids Foundation.

During the run-up to Tartan Day, I will be walking the streets of Toronto in my kilt and showing off my winter white legs. Not only will this raise awareness of Tartan Day, but it will help me raise additional money. If you want to make a donation of any amount, please go to the link, where you can deposit money directly to the Foundation.

Apart from walking around Toronto in a kilt, I needed to advertise the event, so had some t-shirts made up. If you see me walking around, please say hello.

Sponsorship

I am pleased to announce, as from today, that the Sons of Scotland have sponsored several key elements of this event. With their generous support, I am now able to give all the proceeds to the Sick Kids Foundation. http://www.sonsofscotland.com/
