Most people in Canada would know the name Tie Domi from his days of being with the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team. Most people would know Christine Hough-Sweeney as champion figure skater who won six medals at the Canadian Nationals including a gold in 1998. I know a different Tie Domi & Christine Hough-Sweeney.

A few months ago, Tie’s office asked me to suggest a charity that Tie & Christine could contribute to for their preformance on Battle of the Blades. They were very specific that this be a Diabetes Charity. My suggestion was that they donate to the Diabetes Hope Foundation. The Diabetes Hope Foundation provides scholarships and awards to teenagers who have Diabetes to further their education and other relevant activities. The money that Tie & Christine contibuted to the Diabetes Hope Foundation will be set up as a scolarship fund. I think Tie Domi is a Diabetes Champion.
