Mr. Speaker, in honour of Brain Cancer Awareness Day happening this October 24, I would like to pay a special tribute to an incredible family who is near and dear to my heart.
The Boyle family was forever changed when Andrew Boyle lost his 10-year long battle with brain cancer back in 2022.
Undeterred by such a devastating loss, his amazing wife Danielle, a friend and former colleague of mine, and their two beautiful children Austin and Naomi have channelled their grief into hope and action by becoming remarkable ambassadors for the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada. Their team, Boyle's Brainiacs, have knocked on countless doors in their community, sharing their journey with everyone and raising an amazing $6,000 for the cause in the process.
Naomi and Austin have raised $1,000 each. They have not only kept the memory of their late father alive, but also serve as shining examples of youth who deserve recognition in the House.
I say well done to Naomi and Austin. Their dad would be proud.
