I was so humbled to be on Canada AM this morning. My husband and I were both interviewed a little bit in  short segment. Just go to the 8 am segment and there I am part way through the segment! I'm wearing a bright red blouse! My husband is wearing a black shirt.

Yes, Helene is the girl who had the double lung transplant last month. She is truly an amazing person! She was interviewed and so were other families touched by organ donation!  Such an amazing experience to be on the set of this show, Canada AM dedicated 2 full hours of organ donation! It was so amazing, I had such a wonderful time!!          :bandance;
