Jessica, second young lady on the right, and friends meet Keith Urban at the Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest on July 17, 2010
Jessica is our CF Champion for the Ottawa chapter of the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
A very special thank you goes out to Mark Monahan, A.J. Sauve and Tammy Parent of Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest for helping me arrange this incredible evening for Jessica.
They really rolled out the red carpet for her!
Jessica and her friends were treated to a special meet and greet with Keith Urban where they were able talk in a relaxed atmosphere for about 10-15 minutes.
She and her friends were then escorted to the VIP platform on the stage where an incredible view could be had of the enormous crowds and of course, Keith himself, a few feet away during the entire concert.
Goose bumps all around for sure!
A big thank you also goes out to my Help-Portrait sponsor, Lenovo Canada, who provide funding to offset printing and framing costs. Thank you Dave!!!

These helicopters were initially assigned to ant-submarine squadron and then used in search and rescue operations. Mr. Murray was at the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum on Canada Day giving visitors a history on the aircraft and their role in the Royal Canadian Navy from 1955-1980
Chris Hadfield is a veteran astronaut and former CF-18 fighter pilot and has taken part in of two space missions, STS-100 in 2001 and STS-74 in 1995. During STS-100, he spent 11 days aboard the International Space Station and became the first ever Canadian to perform a spacewalk as he installed the Canadian robotic arm, the Canadarm2, onto the Station. For his first mission back in 1995, he flew to the Russian Space Station Mir, and operated the shuttle robotic arm, the Canadarm.
Here he is giving a talk about his experiences with the CF-18 fighter jet.

Justin was my nephew and the most honest and caring person we could ever have known. His brave and long battle was an inspiration to us all as he never seemed to want to give up. He always tried to see the good side of things. We will never forget him.
