Rich Ralph is rollerblading across Canada to raise cancer research funds. He’s winding up the trip in the next few days and is passing through White Rock today.
He has raised almost $40,000 for research mostly through personal donations by people – he hasn’t seen many corporate donations apparently, though Boston Pizza is sponsoring his trip.
His story is inspiring, and I’m curious how I’ve only just now heard about it – when reading my local newspaper. Then again I don’t think I watch TV or listen to the radio, so perhaps I’m no longer in touch with media enough to hear about things? Has anyone else heard about his trek before now?
I’m not a hockey fan myself, but I have a few friends who are. Anyone interested in catching an in-season hockey game that for some reason they couldn’t watch live? Maybe you’d like to review a few key moments? The NHL wants to help you out.
NHL Interactive Cyber Enterprises (ICE), the digital arm of the National Hockey League (NHL), today announced a multi-year deal to provide NHL video content to Google Video. The NHL will provide in-season full-length games on delay to Google Video at http://video.google.com/nhl.html. Google also will receive select NHL classic games.
That last little bit there is perhaps the most interesting part of the announcement … for example maybe you want to look back on the 1994 Stanley Cup final: Canucks @ Rangers?
One caveat – this stuff is only free (and add-free) for the first two weeks of November. Get it while you can!
