I was the guest speaker at the 65 Roses Gala in November 2007. I performed a short one-woman play about my experiences living in St. Paul's Hospital called 'Ward 8A'. I also gave a speech about my life and cystic fibrosis. The even was held at the Pan Pacific Hotel for over 500 guests. Tickets were 200$ each and we raised over 160,000.00$ for the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
