If they have, I'd love to chat for an article I'm working on. Feel free to send me a message or email alexander.kennedy@cbc.ca

Not sure what prompted this account to balloon with new followers over the weekend, but welcome!

I’ll post news here, but for now I’m still riding the high of a playoff win so that’s what you’re getting tonight.

What wheelchair basketball taught me about life and my disability Alex Kennedy - CBC News

A rectangular image divided into two sections. The left block is blue with a white heart, next to the words “make the season kind,” and smaller letters that say “Join us and help support local food banks.” The right block has red and aqua coloured symbols that appear to be parts of a broken-apart CBC logo, with a red circle in the centre that says “CBC.”

One week from today (Friday) until CBC stations across Canada help to #MakeTheSeasonKind by offering special programming and accepting donations to local food banks. That’s happening on Dec. 6th. You can donate online now to the CBC NL campaign at: www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/123284
