#StartWithHillary
Hillary is six. She’s got a rare blood disorder called Aplastic Anemia. She needs a 100% stem cell donor match to get better.
Tomorrow at St. Matthew’s in Orleans (6550 Bilberry Drive) a swab drive is happening. Persons aged 17-35 are encouraged to join the national registry. Hillary needs us!
To help boost potential donor turn out, I, backed by the power of my radio station & some good souls, will be giving away one slice of Gabriel’s Pizza to ever person who can prove they’ve been swabbed (during tomorrow’s event).

Pass it on.
Grab a slice. Save a life. #StartWithHillary
We NEED to Talk.
In times of darkness look for the light.
Working in media, I find myself consuming a lot of stories. Constantly paying attention to global issues. I become attached to stories that move me.
Sometimes the hardest stories are the ones we wish we never heard but they are the ones we need to hear the most.
Beyond playing your favourite pop music during my radio show or sharing a few laughs about celebrity news or whatever, I’m a human trying to process the state of the world through a sometimes indescribably horrid lens.
Talking allows me to process the tougher stories and harsher realities that come along with absorbing so much.
I feel these stories and I genuinely want to help. It’s the only way I know how.
Hockey Talk with Alex Formenton and Josh Norris
Ottawa Senators players Alex Formenton, 19, and Josh Norris, 20, showed up to the KiSS Studios this morning (for an interview with our smarter station, 1310News’ ‘Ottawa Today’ with Mark Sutcliffe).
They generously gave me a couple minutes of their time to answer some questions about being drafted, playing at such a competitive level and how it all came to be.
“Keep believing and working hard... chase your dream!”
To read their official NHL bios, click on their names: Josh Norris, #37 centre, and Alex Formenton, #59 left wing.
