    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 show cars:









    The competing cars:
























    Some celebrities at the event:


    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.


    James Kyson Lee, Ando Masahashi from Heroes


    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...

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


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

    It was at the Toronto Harbour Commission building at the corner of Bay St. and Lake Shore Blvd. East. I plan on keeping tabs on their website to see where it is next year so I can show up with a better camera
