John 's Fundraising Page

I am a teacher/guidance counselor at Cape Breton Highlands Academy who was approached by a former student to help support Callum MacQuarrie in generating awareness around obstacles faced by our community members on a daily basis. We take many simple things for granted such as access to businesses, facilities and recreational opportunities which are not always easily accessible for everyone. When I was 23 years old I had an accident that left me legally blind for nearly two years, during that time the active lifestyle and independence that I took for granted was quickly taken away. It was during this time that I realized the many barriers that people with disabilities face. Wednesday May the 9th I will spend the day in a wheel chair in an attempt to educate and draw more awareness to our students, staff and school community members at CBHEC/A of these obstacles while raising money for the Canadian Paraplegic Association. Please consider making a donation to this worth while cause.
