Since I can remember this girl had lived about a minute away from me; and then the past two years I rarely saw her since she packed up and left our small town, which I wasn’t to far behind to leave as well! Unfortunately, the past three years have been super hard on her, but I’m so proud to see that she continues to be one of the funniest, kindest people I know, and I’m so glad to have her back by my side. From her I learnt never to allow someone to push you around emotionally or physically. And I hope to help her get back the life she deserves from all the motivation she continues to push through during tough days. I love you to the moon and back Rank-A-Tank, you’ll forever have a friend in me.

50 years and this fantastic woman is still going strong… She fought through so much hardship that most people couldn’t even imagine in these 50 years and I can’t even begin to explain. Yet, here she is, one of the smartest, strongest, funniest and kindest people I know. She devoted her life to making her three kids never have to go through what she did, and she does everything she can to help her family back in the Ukraine and immigrants have an easier time moving here to Canada. To top it all off, day and night she’s in the surgery room saving lives. Today, and every other day, I couldn’t be more happy or proud to call her my mother. There is nothing I want more in my life than to become half of the woman she is. Thank you for being my hero. Happy birthday Mom. I love you more than you know. XO – AE

Two years ago this little trouble maker decided to make an appearance into my life. His parents are two of my best friends, and some of the greatest people I know. I couldn’t be more proud of the kind of hardship they go through raising this cutie, and yet it’s some of the best parenting I’ve ever seen. Even at two I can already see how much greatness and change he has and is going to bring to me. The goal is to make sure Noah knows that’s he’s loved no matter what, and let him follow his goals knowing there is always people here to support him. Never let your kids think you doubt them, they are what’s going to replace you in this world, I can’t wait to see what he’s going to accomplish!

Dee Karpa is an amazing designer, no doubt in my mind that she will become even more successful in Toronto. She’s super down to earth, and beautiful inside and out. She makes sure that every piece done to a T and every model feels as comfortable as possible. I am so honoured to have had the chance to meet this amazing, fun, positive lady, and get to walk her first and last show in Winnipeg. Her talent is something everyone should get to experience. Her determination proves that the more effort and positivity we put into what we love, will make it all more worth it! Thank you Dee, and good luck in the future, can’t wait see you again! Xoxo, AE

I’ve always seemed like the one who had her head on her shoulders, but because I was never one to be a “burden” to others, I kept a lot of things bottles up for a very long time. I reached a pretty low point in my life, and once I told someone about it I finally saw how important talking about anything and everything is for the soul. I’m taking the walk on May 4th in order to show my supporters how appreciative I am for them, and to start helping others to realize you are never a “burden”. I hope to continue to bring positivity to everyone, it’s so important to have that feeling. Kids Help Phone is a great organization that is there 24/7 for anyone who need. Help my team and I reach our fundraising goal or join us on the walk! Cheers, AE https://secure.e2rm.com/regV2/regV2.aspx?eventid=137390&langpref=en-CA#regV2BrowserChanges=registrationTypeForm
