 Bob Geldof A Huge Hit at Opening of New Centre
Tremendous Media Coverage for his Appearance
Nobel Man of Peace Sir Bob Geldof
was on hand recently to open the McEwen Centre for Regenerative
Medicine, a world-class facility in Toronto. "Every

Geldof said to a large gathering of journalists; his appearance
was a top story later that night on most newscasts. "It's
exciting to hear how [they're] pushing the envelope to develop
new treatments that may, one day, tackle some of the world's
debilitating diseases. Their vision is global and inspiring."

Sandy McCallum Posts Great
Finish in Sahara Race
Finishes Second in Women's
Division and 11th Overall in Grueling Ultramarathon

Sandy raced 150 miles in six stages, carried all of the
food and supplies she needed on her back—and finished
second among women competitors. Her breathtaking presentations are based
on races such as these, and the lessons they impart: the
power of positive thinking, the importance of taking life
one step at a time, and the tenacity it takes to succeed.
