There’s got to be a better way!
I have been a dialysis patient for the last nine months. My kidneys no longer function. I’m dependent on home dialysis. This means that every morning I discard over a kilo of tubes and empty bags after using them once only – all PVC plastic. This dialysis keeps me alive. I’m grateful for the technology, and I’m grateful for the medical science that makes this all possible.

GREAT NEWS! Your chance to help start the first Community Bike Repair shop in Southeast Manitoba has arrived!
We've been offered a section of the old La Broquerie Lumber store to use as our space, and we're excited to finally make our vision a reality. If you haven't heard, we’ve been looking for space to establish a community bike shop for a long time.
