Louis’ BIO

I always took things as they came, and never wanted to do anything on my own. I wanted the world to do everything for me. Turns out I was going nowhere in a hurry with that attitude. I needed something in my life to kick-start a new way of thinking. All it took was one email and the courage to send a “Yes, I want to help” reply.

That email contained the contents to change my life. I was working at Scotiabank with no future in the company, when I got the email from 6 asking for help or suggestions with his Lift for the Kids campaign. After reading the email, I was excited to help 6 with his dream. He was raising funds for SickKids. My little sister Ruby is currently a patient at SickKids with a tumor behind her eye and I would do anything to help her. So I was more than ready to help in any way I could. I wanted this to be the best campaign two average guys had ever put together.  I knew Scotiabank had fund-raising opportunities for employees to take advantage of if they are participating in a local charity. I emailed 6 back, telling him I had a little sister in the hospital and a good idea on how we could raise funds.

So that was the beginning of 6 Pack and I, and the Lift for the Kids foundation. I had to take that first initial step by replying to his offer and helping him make a difference in this world. I knew this was the beginning of a very bright future for the both of us.  Who knows where this is going to take us? There is a whole world out there for the taking. It doesn’t cost anything to have a drive or a dream. So drive hard and dream big.
