We have high risk kids in our valley, and kids who are close to becoming high risk kids. Kidstart is a great program. Check out the John Howard Society webpage and learn how you can donate to support this great community service.
Organizations like Kidstart allow those of us who have a big heart an opportunity to contribute with money, whereas, because of age and other societal obligations, we don't seem to be able to find the time to help.
And listen to that big heart of Shane Douglas'....pumping for oxygen all the way from Cape Scott to Courtenay.
Is that guy crazy or what? http://www.comoxvalleyrecord.com/sports/138952634.html
