In Loving Memory of Doug Blaine
I’m raising $2,500 for Ronald McDonald House Manitoba.
Ends: December 2, 2023
Doug Blaine peacefully passed away on June 8, 2023, at the age of 73. If you had the privilege of knowing Doug, consider yourself fortunate, for he was truly one of a kind. He was renowned for his collection of incredible tales, whether they unfolded on the baseball field, in the ice hockey arena, on the farm, or at the corner pub. Yet, beyond his sense of humour, Doug possessed one of the most generous and compassionate hearts one could ever encounter. His affections were divided between two true loves: his family and the fast-food haven known as McDonald's. Yes, you read that correctly. After Papa's passing, when his phone became part of our family's possessions, we uncovered an astonishing secret. Doug had accumulated an astounding 80,000 McDonald's points on the app, primarily from savouring his beloved McGriddle combo meal for an impressive 35 consecutive days at one point. After Doug's departure, Cooper, Doug's beloved grandson, felt the need to honour his grandfather's memory. After considering various charitable organizations to collaborate with, it finally clicked. Few organizations bring together the world of McDonald's and families quite like RMHC (Ronald McDonald House Charities). In addition to financial contributions, the Blaine family’s Flyer Cattle Co. is proud to announce that a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Purebred Hereford bred heifer, Flyer-Cattle Sage 7K, will be donated. This exceptional heifer will be available for purchase on December 1st at the MHA Good as Gold Sale in Brandon, Manitoba. In these challenging times, we see this as a unique opportunity for all of us to give back to our community, either through acquiring Sage 7K or through monetary donations. What better way to honor the memory of Doug Blaine than by contributing to our community. If you have any questions about the donation heifer, please don’t hesitate to contact Cooper at info@flyercattleco.com. Papa, we thank you for the cherished memories. We can almost picture you, somewhere out there, with a fishing rod in one hand and a McGriddle in the other. With love, The Blaine Family
