Comedy Nest Fundraiser

We had a very successful fundraiser at the Comedy Nest. A big thanks to all our supporters!

Special presentation by Jimmy Chan to his good friend, Jacques Monette. In Captain Jimmy Chan's words:

“There will be a special presentation to one of our greatest team supporters after the show tonight, his name is Jacques Monette. He works with me in the same company. During our MIDBRF Montreal Dragon Boat Festival this year, he and his family came and cheered us on; he has been one of our fans for years. He always wanted to experience participating in dragon boating, but he has a health problem, and I have been helping him in fitness training these past years.”

“This year, after he came to cheer on our team at the Montreal festival big race, on the same week during his vacation, he had a stroke. His heart stopped while he was sleeping — actually his heart stopped more than two times, but it wasn't his time yet. Now he has a pacer next to his heart to keep him in good health. He said GOD sent him back, sent him back to be with our team Phoenix Warriors. He came to me and made a commitment to himself to train hard to run the marathon next summer, to prove that he is OK!”

“I was really touched when he told me and asked me to be his trainer and his supporter, to give him more motivation. Tonight it will be a special moment for him, and for everyone in our team to come together like a big family to witness his new journey. For that, I will be presenting him my own GOLD medal that we won at the men's competition this year, for his courage and spirit as a fighter, that he is running for his life.”
