Get your splash on!

During my 42 weeks of pregnancy, I dreaded every doctor’s appointment, blood test, and ultrasound. My shoulders and hands would tense up before hearing or seeing every result, “Please don’t let there be anything wrong with my baby” was the phrase repeating in my head.

Fortunately, we delivered a healthy, strong baby boy. At almost 11 months old, he is still a happy, healthy little guy. We feel grateful every day for his health and ability, especially because we know not every parent is as fortunate.

We don’t know what will happen in the future, but we appreciate that there are dedicated and inspiring groups in Canada providing amazing opportunities and experiences which enhance the quality of life, self-esteem, and self-determination of Canadians with disabilities.

One of every seven Canadians report having a disability. Easter Seals is Canada’s largest local provider of programs, services, issues-leadership and development for the disability community, and they are dedicated to helping more than 100,000 Canadians with disabilities participate fully in society.

Azara Effect Productions is so honored to be a part of their Splash of Colour event on Sunday, August 25, and we can’t wait to film all of the excited and colourful participants! If you haven’t signed up for this year’s event, it’s never too late to donate, or to start thinking about participating in 2014!
