On June 14th I walked across the stage at Carleton University and received my Bachelor of Engineering! Sure it's a lot of fuss but I think I deserve some moment for fame for the last five sometimes good sometimes brutal years. My mum, dad, Fiona and Charles came out and cheered me on for my triumphant walk (which apparently was a bit on the fast side). Mostly I was thinking something on the lines of "smile....walk....don't trip....shake hands....smile....don't trip....walk more..." After the ceremony I got a great congrats from one of my profs. Then the picture taking began. Too bad my friends and I couldn't be more organized and set a time to take a group photo. Instead I would move about 10ft, see someone, chat it up a bit and then the picture. To wrap up the day - my gang was joined by Charles' parents and my cousin Kiersten at the Greek Souvlaki House for a literal mound of food.
About Me
- Taylor
- During my years raising money for Team Diabetes Canada I’ve pushed myself harder and harder to reach ever loftier goals in both my running and fundraising efforts. In 2006 I raised $6000 and completed the 10km race in Iceland. 2008 saw me bring that total to $12,500 and finish the half marathon in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Now in 2009, my final effort, I intend to complete my goal of attaining a personal best of $20,000 raised in support of diabetes research in Canada. It is fitting that upon completion of my fund raising goals I’ll follow the victory trail of the first marathon runner ever from the beaches of Marathon to Athens, Greece. I’m well on the road to achieving these goals but will need your help to see them through. I’ll handle the running part but any donations made in any amount, will go a long way to furthering both my race to Athens and the Race for the Cure.

Thanks for Dropping By
