It was a golden light moment of early morning on the first day of September! Volunteering season is back! Two of my favorite causes held hand together and came back with the most awaited Blueberry festival on Sunday, September 1st! Blueberry Festival came back to Fort McMurray after 15 long years. This year, it shared the weekend and venue with Empty Bowls festival. It was a celebration of local talent that drew the community together to bring awareness to local hunger issues and raise funds for the WoodBuffalo Food Bank. It was enchanting to see a team of blue shirts of Team RBC, running around and setting up tents, moving chairs and tables helping set up the festival site at an early hour of the day! I am proud to be a part of Team RBC not only as a volunteer but also an organization with a donation amount for Woodbuffalo Food Bank!

What can be a better reason to buy a burger today and supporting A&W with their Burgers to beat MS Campaign! $2 from Every Teen Burger purchase goes towards supporting Canadians living with Multiple Sclerosis. I was "voluntold" many years ago to be part of the fund raising team for helping support Multiple Sclerosis patients in Fort McMurray. It was an eye opening experience to understand how every penny is needed for research, fighting the disease, helping care givers with knowledge and helping the MS society. I am proud to support a great cause! I hope you enjoyed a teen burger from A&W today too!

Yesterday I ran a Half Marathon. It was a long run. I ran at a super slow pace. My main goal was to complete it and get that medal. This is not my first time, definitely not my last one. Some how I was never into competitive sports as a young kid. I was more into music and performing arts. I started running at age 40. I was running to heal myself from domestic violence I went through. One of my co workers at a Volunteering project suggested I get out of my comfort zone and find a new me after I started a new life all by myself and with my young daughter. I kept running and ended up running marathons and other long distance running. One time a spectator yelled mocking at me saying " is that walking or running? you will never finish in time." Well I did finish that race. Yesterday I met John Stranton, founder of Running Room and my inspiration of finding a new me. When I told him of the mockery incident, John, like a true mentor told me " It is your race, your goal, your path. Nothing else matters." While running, the whole time these words resonated in my mind. "It is my race, I am not competing with any one"; Isn't this true for everything else in our lives? Once we understand the path to our goal is our own path; the goal is MY goal; it would be so much easy to achieve our goals. One step at a time and put one foot in front of the other one. and there you go. I am so thankful to Harvard, my now retired little runner who started training me and Ben, the happy go lucky sled runner who happily picked up his duty to train me. There is no limit to your dreams; the race is yours, the path is yours. Running freed me from PTSD. If I could break free of all my fears, my pain and run free, trust me you can too!

It was a weekend full of exciting volunteering activity for the JDRF Charity. JDRF is the foremost organization who helps with finding and help cure Diabetes by investing in the most promising research, advocating for progress by working with government to address issues that impact patients and caregivers. JDRF helps educate and empower individuals facing Diabetic conditions. Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disease that causes the body's immune system to mistakenly destroy insulin producing beta cells. This can lead to deadly pancreas failure. It is perceived as having a quick onset. Members of my extended family were victims of Type 1 diabetes. As a child I have seen my uncles and aunties suffer from this deadly disease. The most painful was to see our cousin sister silently suffer. Every summer vacation, we would be re-told of how to play with her or what not to eat with her. Did you know, 300,000 Canadians have Type 1 Diabetes and it is growing by 4.4% per year! Together, we can find a long lasting cure for Type 1 Diabetes . RBC is a huge supporter of JDRF research. In Fort McMurray, our community is a small but mighty team for Charity donations nationally! As humble attempt, we have decided that we will be doing a 50/50 draw to help raise some funds for this foundation. Thanks to the three RBC Branches in Fort McMurray who poured in their support. Then I went door to door for a bottle drive . I am ever so thankful specially to Tany Yao, MLA for Fort McMurray-Woodbuffalo to donate empties and lead by example.

My first volunteering started at the age of 8. My parents took me with them volunteering for at Nirmala Shishu Bhavan at Calcutta ( now Kolkata) in India. Mother Teresa, the Noble winner for peace started the orphanage alone. It still works based entirely on volunteering. I remember working side by side with Mother Teresa, and my dad, doing janitorial work at the Orphanage. After the couple of hours of volunteering, my mother brought some authentic home cooked desserts for all the volunteers. At the end of every shift that us sisters volunteered, Mother Teresa would then fold her hands for prayer, bow down and thank us profusely. She would then bless us placing her soft palm on our head, saying " may god bless you always and show you the path to help people in need". That prayer and blessing still rings in my ears. When I am not working, I enjoy volunteering. I had a wonderful experience to attend the Volunteer Fest arranged by fuesocial , Northstar Ford Woodbuffalo Volunteer Center. It was a humble experience to see community members who dedicate their life serving people in need without any expectation. I am ever so grateful to be a part of the Volunteer Community in Fort McMurray.

While rest of the city was reeling with joy of the great win of Edmonton Oilers, I braved 30 Degree Celcius after packed day at work and volunteered for the Pride event at the Fort McMurray Shipyard. Thanks to my colleague Kevin, I was introduced to Ella Lamoureux the 2-spirit Kelowna Drag Queen. Her aura, definitely is enigmatic! I was like a little girl asking for an autograph from Ella! Starting with a dinner at a local eatery last week, it was a week of various festivities. I am proud to be a part of RBC, supporting diversity and inclusion in our community of Fort MCMurray.
