| MR.
BUTLER: |
Mr. Speaker, December 2008, will mark ten years since Ms
Gloria Morgan of Port de Grave started walking for the
Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada.
Gloria’s son Lloyd, who was just eighteen, was
killed instantly while travelling to St. John’s over
Veterans Memorial Highway. The previous year, he
underwent surgery to treat ulcerative colitis after
being diagnosed with the disease in 1997.
Since this tragedy, Mrs. Morgan has raised $20,000
for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada and
recently joined six other national winners in the
foundation’s Gutsiest Canadian Award.
Three generations of Morgans take part in the annual
national walk, Heel-N-Wheel-A-Thon, which is sponsored
in the local area by the Trinity Conception chapter of
the foundation.
I ask all hon. members to join me in extending
congratulations to Ms Gloria Morgan as she continues to
support this very worthy cause.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. |
