Welcome to my advocacy blog. My goal is to post relevant information that will spark action, discussion and interaction, creating a catalyst for solutions and ideas to impact the challenges we face in our society. We welcome comments, suggestions and submissions in support of those seeking a voice. "…Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear…"
