If there's anybody who's an inspiration to me, it's an ex-NHLer (who's hopefully coming back) by the name of Sheldon Kennedy. A lot of people, mostly in Canada, were shocked by the accusations made by Kennedy towards his former minor-league coach, Graham James.
Sheldon, if you ever read this, I'd really like to see about still putting together your dream and make it a reality. There are enough of us who care about children out here. You were the one voice that started it and broke the silence about Child Sexual Abuse...let's not give up on your dream so easily...please!!!!
His charity was good, but if I knew how to get in touch with him, and we could have a talk, I think he might consider helping me in starting small and working upwards. That's my dream now. I'd love to have his help.
As someone who works with children, I look at this gentleman as a role model for the many children in the world. Below are some links to assist you in learning more about this guy with a heart of gold. Thank you, Sheldon, for giving hope to children everywhere!!!
