Graham Norris seriously hurt while skiing.

Sportsman, waterman, but most of all family man. Very sorry to hear this news. Wishing all the best for his wife and children. Please keep us posted for any help needed. Gene

A celebration of Graham's life will be held at 2pm Friday 22Feb08 at McMorran's restaurant, 5109 Cordova Bay Road. This is next to the beaches and water he spent so much time at with his family, friends and doing the sports he loved. All are invited.

Friday's event was a very fitting celebration of life I am a bit confused about the foundation which BTW is here: http://www.grahamnorris.org/

...got the name online which is huge long name and C/O, but who do I make the cheque out to The foundation or their number or that multiple person? name. A paypal or e-cheque address might work good too if there is one. Thx for any info.
Thx Kus

[Snarfer]

Kus, I'll find out a little more for you. The foundation just got set up. It's not too clear now as everyone is still shell-shocked. Will post back ASAP.

[Snarfer]

OK, The cheques are made out to "Graham Norris Foundation"

and mailed to the lawyer at:

Graham Norris Foundation
c/o Frank Carson Cox Taylor
26 Bastion Square
Victoria, BC, Canada
V8M 1H9

Many thanks to those who donate. It'll help all of us at Nitinat and local spots that Graham would frequent.

Mine's in the mail today, a little late but better than not. Also a gentle reminder for others to consider this cause.

Nitinat season is almost upon us. Let's anticipate with smiles thinking of those who have moved on with the wind. I know they'll be with us

[Snarfer]

Thanks Kus . We are setting up the society and will work with the community to see they are well utilized. Victoria and Nitinat safety services seem to be first on the list.

Hi Snarfer et al:

Any update on the Foundation? I was hoping something like a first aid post or some such thing was going to happen at the Nat this summer. Help needed to put things in motion let me know. Any news [smilie=pimp.gif]

[Snarfer]

Hi Kus,

Icarumba is getting this going. The foundation will meet early next week and I'll have more news. The donation on behalf of Graham by the BWD community is much appreciated and will be used for the benefit of the local community.

Hi. It's been one year since Graham flew into the wind. There is a nice bench on the same row as Johnny's. Facing the Cook street stairs go right 6 or so benches. The foundation still has the BWD community donation and we intend to use it for your benefit. Thanks for your understanding and patience.

Thanks for the update ... A reminder to make the most of every day.
