My speech went very well at the media event for National Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness Week. I found it exhausting of course, but so worth it! I chose to sit while giving my speech, but it was still difficult to talk for four minutes. At least I didn't have to stop for a crazy coughing fit. I recognized a couple of faces in the crowd, but unfortunately the lung tx doctors were either stuck in clinic or stuck in Europe with no flight home.
After my speech I was interviewed and had several people form the crowd come up to me with encouragement, which is sweet. I felt really good about how things went.
I saw clips from the event aired on three different channels. The CBC Edmonton Evening News actually showed part of my speech, my interview and repeated my donor awareness message!!! I am thrilled!
