Hello Folks! Welcome to my first "Our Planet" blog post on Grainne.ca! This blog is not so much about the environment but about some cool people that are helping to save the lives of children. My friends Neil and Janin Sanderson (Three Days Grace) started a thing called HERBIE ROCKS, an on-line auction site that auctions off guitars donated by famous bands such as Nickelback and Seether, signed photos of star sports players and actors, etc. All the proceeds go to Operation Herbie, in support of the Herbie Fund at the Hospital for Sick Children. The Herbie Fund consists of a team of great people who find kids in less fortunate countries that need life saving operations, they bring those kids to Sick Kids Hospital where they can get the treatment they need, and thus save the lives of children all around the world. I had the honour of performing at the auction launch on May 3, 2008. I also donated one of my original paintings to be auctioned off. A great time was had by all and for such a worthy cause! Cheers to my friends Neil and Janin for coming up with such a brilliant idea and for doing a fantastic job!
