Finally, Dustin Blais lost his nephew Daniel to leukemia without warning in December 2003. Daniel was a musician, and his friends raised $10,000 for leukemia research the next year in a beneft concert called "Rock for a Cause".
Dustin wants to do his part as well. He has committed to raising $3,200 for leukemia by raising pledges to cycle 200 km over two days as part of the inaugural Ride to Conquer Cancer for Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto.
As Dustin says, "I'm no musician but I can ride a bike and with the practice I've been doing, I will gladly be able to bike the 200+km for Daniel." Visit the website to make a pledge to Dustin's ride.

You forgot the debut of the International Village Makers' Market:
We hope you can join us as we debut the second location of the Makers' Market this Saturday, June 7th from 10 am - 3 pm. Located in the Ferguson Station Pavillion at the corner of King and Ferguson Streets in the heart of the International Village in downtown Hamilton, we are sure this will become just as much a destination as the James North Makers' Market has become.
You will find:
• local organic farm-fresh foods
• handmade goods
• local art
• retro and vintage items
We hope you can join us for what promises to fun and exciting community event!
