I know that this summer the news came out that Gord Downie has terminal brain cancer. But like always, Canada has a way to fight through emotional and sad things like this one. As you may know, Gord Downie’s wife Laura just suffered from breast cancer and survived. She and Gord have courage.
So now I am going to say a little speech dedicated to all the people that care and who donate to cancer.
A Poem For Gord
sometimes when I wake up I look up at my
ceiling and I pray for those people who have to
suffer through painful cancer. I pray that every
second someone donates to cancer. Most people
deserve to have a long lasting life and not to
suffer from cancer. So hearing this, I pray
that this poem can change something in this world.
