We have exciting news!
We are very pleased to announce that Lupus Canada has received commitment from three outstanding Canadian actors who have agreed to support us in our efforts to promote public awareness and our Walk a Block event.
Debra McGrath, Colin Mochrie and Patrick McKenna, all recognizable Canadian actors/comedians, have accepted our request to work with us to move the mission and vision of Lupus Canada forward to Canadians through awareness and the promotion of Walk a Block. Debra and Colin are married and Patrick is one of their closest friends. They come to us with passion for our under-recognized disease and a desire to create more awareness.
Debra currently stars on CBC’s Little Mosque on the Prairie and was a founding member of the comedy troupe Women Fully Clothed. Colin is most recognized for his work on Whose Line is it Anyway? and is currently touring with comedic partner Brad Sherwood in the Evening with Colin & Brad tour. Patrick is best known for playing Harold Green on the television series The Red Green Show and Marty Stephens on Traders. All are alumni of The Second City and have been involved in multiple facets of the entertainment industry both in Canada and the US. In our discussions with all of them, we have found them to be humble, gracious and generous in their commitment to our cause and their desire to make a difference in the lives of people living with lupus! They too are now part of our team…working together to conquer lupus!
