Default 2009 Rally for Kids With Cancer - Toronto

I happened to be riding home on the bus from visiting an out-of-town friend. Not far from the bus station I noticed an orange Lambo and could tell right away from the car and the crowd that it was something big. Once the bus let me off, I hoofed it over there as quickly as I could. It turns out that it was a fundraiser known as Rally for Kids With Cancer. It's a celebrity scavenger rally in exotic cars.

Apologies for the varying picture quality. I only had my cheapo P&S on me. Sometimes it plays nice and sometimes not so much. Had I known this was going on, I would have brought my DSLR.


Some cars in the area:

Some celebrities at the event:

http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss78/avidvideo/rfkwc039.jpg
Pinball Clemons, played for and coached the CFL's Toronto Argonauts. I didn't even realize that I got a shot of him until I uploaded the pics to my computer. Local celebrity who does a lot of charity work, and quite possibly the happiest man on the planet as he's rarely not smiling. I've met him once before, he's a major class act.

http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss78/avidvideo/rfkwc040.jpg
James Kyson Lee, Ando Masahashi from Heroes

http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss78/avidvideo/rfkwc041.jpg
Aaron Douglas, Chief Galen Tyrol from Battlestar Galactica

Adam Rodriguez, Eric Delko from CSI: Miami


...and since my P&S can do video as well...
+ YouTube Video
ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.

The most interesting parts are at :35 and especially at 1:26


I am so glad that I started carrying my camera...
