In my thoughts always and dearly missed every day.

Honouring my Brother Shawn

Last August I lost my brother Shawn Cavanagh. 
Shawn was an incredible person and also an elementary school teacher + gifted marathon runner.
This weekend his memory is being honoured with a memorial run in Mississauga organized by Garthwood Public school - where he taught for 18 years.
Friends and family along with many of his former students will be running.
All proceeds will go to CAMH. More info can be found here. 
Thanks so much to Garthwood for helping to keep Shawn's memory alive. 
He will be in our hearts and minds always.

Thinking about Boston and my brother

With the death of a dear contemporary, it becomes a duty to love life all the more intensely on their behalf, because they are no longer here to do it themselves.”

-Martin Amis on the death of his best friend Christopher Hitchens
