Last week Hearts of Durham was part of a taping of Making a Difference with Susan Hay on Global. Although I was unable to be at the taping, it is a very exciting and milestone event for Hearts. I am still waiting to find out when it airs and will link the video to our website if possible.
It is very gratifying to be recognized by a big TV personality. Almost as gratifying as seeing your hard work in action. Anyway, I am familiar with Susan Hay and the fact that she is a News celebrity but I thought I might have a closer look at who she is. This is what the Global website has posted on her bio. She is big hearted and generous and not only understands the philosophy of giving back to the community but she lives by it as well.
Susan works with a variety of charities including Ronald McDonald House, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Reach for the Rainbow and The Heart & Stroke Foundation. She works with World Vision and has visited orphans in Africa and helped to build a school there. She has been the receipient of numerous humanitarian and media awards. She also runs marathons and hosts the Toronto Santa Claus parade, of course.
She is definitely someone to have on your side! Thank you Susan Hay.
