We were recently overwhelmed by the generosity of family over the holidays. Cousin Grant Samson stopped by with the boys Mac and Spencer to deliver a $10,000 cheque on behalf of Hebron and their "Nobody Gets Hurt" safety initiative on the Hebron platform. The Glenn's Helping Hand Foundation and Brett's Stand for Diabetes will support many families in Newfoundland and Labrador with this donation. Cousin Grant advocated for this. We thank him dearly for his time and dedication towards getting this sizeable donation!

Last week we were so very proud to support our local Exploits Search and Rescue team with two Emergency Diabetic kits. Just one of the many initiaves that the Glenn's Helping Hand Foundation and Brett's Stand for Diabetes are helping to support our province with. We Will continue to work with the right partners to get these kits into the hands of all the SAR teams throughout the province.

Huge Thank You going out to Corey, Stephanie and Brett Samson representing Brett’s Stand for Diabetes and Glenn’s Helping Hands Foundation who donated 2 Blood Sugar monitoring kits to our team during our Moose Burger Sale. This is certainly an asset to our emergency kits. We certainly appreciate your support.
