Ted Dawes has done it again. By combining a quirky approach to fundraising with a heavy dose of personal courage, the member-activist from UFCW Canada Local 175 has inspired people from across the country to open their wallets and donate a staggering amount of money to leukemia and lymphoma research.
Formally known as “Ted on the Roof” – for previous fundraising efforts that involved spending days camped atop his local grocery in Peterborough, Ont. – Dawes became “Ted on the Road” this year after deciding to demonstrate his heroic commitment to the cause by walking from Ottawa to Toronto. |
