riceworks® Welcomes The Children’s Rehabilitation Foundation of Winnipeg to Show Us Your Goodness.

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Today I had a chance to listen to the Podcast of Tricia interviewing Gay Kirby, the Executive Director for The Children’s Rehabilitation Foundation, the fundraising arm for the Rehabilitation Centre for Children (RCC).

What a wonderful interview.

As I found out, The Rehabilitation Centre for Children (RCC), provides children with disabilities with services that enable them to live with independence and ability in their own homes, schools and communities. The foundation provides this service for children in the wide swath that includes Manitoba, Nunavut, parts of Saskatchewan and North West Ontario. Over 22,000 visits are made to RCC services each year.

Gay is enthusiastic about her involvement with the Foundation, and she spoke about the “happy tears” that often spill, especially when a child who has a disability gets a chance to realize a special dream. Like getting a chance to own an adapted bike that makes a kid feel like a kid. Check out the Podcast and the site. http://www.crf.mb.ca/

Thank you Gay for sharing your passion.
