NOTE: Jan 14/04 - The poster in question has now been removed, not because of public pressure, but because the promotion ended. The Canadian Transplant Association no longer has the photos on their web site. Merv.
Macs Milk and Becker's (Divisions of Couche-tard) two well known chains that have Mini Marts in many location in Canada and the US, have launched an advertising campaign using 'Human Organ Transport' as their theme. It is not in good taste by any means; if anything it makes a mockery out of the process of organ donation.

Lynne & Peter Laurence's Holiday Party 2004
Photo Gallery for this article: Laurence Party
Peter Laurence suffered with cystic fibrosis for a long time and finally had a double lung transplant in July, 2001. Since that time he and his wife Lynne have been very active in reaching out and "giving back" to the transplant community. They tell me this "Christmas Party" at their home in Mississauga, Ontario December 5th was the "first annual". Let's hope so.
Quite a few lung transplant patients were in attendance along with many of their spouses, support persons, friends and relatives.
Peter shot quite a few photos with his new digital camera and I've posted them to my photo gallery at: Laurence Party

We know that you worked hard to promote the event and I also wish to add my huge thanks to those who purchased tickets from me and helped to sell tickets. You are true "Friends of The Foundation".
