  We are very pleased to announce our partnership with The Herbie Fund. The Herbie Fund works worldwide to ensure that children receive the desired medical attention they require. Medical expenditures are very costly and many families around the world do not have the available income to ensure that their children receive the medical care that is necessary. The Herbie Fund works in partnership with Sick Kids Hospital to ensure that quality medical care service is provided.  As of this moment through donor support, more than 671 children from 101 countries have received specialized surgical assistance. Thanks to the Herbie Fund, hundreds of children are leading full, healthier, and more productive lives. Each year The Herbie Fund receives a handful of applications that they cannot meet due to the lack of funding. However, a great deal of effort is being put into raising awareness of this organizations effort. If you wish to make a donation to The Herbie Fund, you can do so here: http://www.herbiefund.com/waysToDonate.asp. To read more about The Herbie Fund and how they have affected the lives of children view The Herbie Fund Partnership page on our website.

When it comes to who we are, the majority of us find that we end up conforming to the standards of society. Is it really fun to simply run with the crowd? Our inner drive makes us who we are and why should we work to hide it just because society does not think it is “normal”. Who actually develops the standards for what constitutes as “normal” anyways? Do not let society stop you from unleashing you inner drive! Be unique, go against what the status quo thinks and develop an identity for yourself that truly demonstrates your individuality. Being unique and being weird should not hinder you from reaching your potential, ALLOW IT TO BE YOUR INNER DRIVE! Author Seth Godin has recently introduced a book called “We Are All Weird:The Myth of Mass and the End of Compliance” in which he discusses the matter of not conforming to societies expectations. I would encourage you all to check out his book, it is a real eye opener! Remember to join us at the 7th floor kiosk of the Ted Rogers School of Business Management building every Tuesday and Thursday in January as we will be showcasing the many events to be taking place at the conference. DON’T FORGET to take part in our video CHALLENGE!! We would like all delegates to send us a video in which you display your inner drive. By doing so, you have a chance of winning a FREE ticket to the conference. Contest rules are listed here: http://ryersontrmc.ca/about-trmc/videochallenge/. Create your video NOW as the contest deadline is January 20th 2012 at midnight. From the entire TRMC committee we encourage you all to be weird and wacky- to represent yourself regardless of what others may think of you. “We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.” – Dr. Seuss
