USTORM IS HERE
In May of 2006, after many broken conversations across the bar and many late-late
night pop-a-shot gamesà the topic of starting a charity foundation became reality and
à USTORM was born.Ã
United So Together Our Reach Multiplies
Brendan Bayliss along with myself had talked about the vision of starting
are ownà charity foundation for about 6 months until one night in March of 2006
where it was enough talk and time to put up or shut up.Ã Both on the same page
to make actions speak louder than words we vowed to move forward.Ã Needing
a triangle core to form USTORM, Mike LeMaistre was beyond the perfect fit.
A choice that didn't need to be made by us or him rather a pure example that
USTORM was meant to be.à Only thing holdingà us back at this point wasÃ
the need for someoneà to run the operationà weà choose toà create. The
final piece to the puzzleà came in the form of Barry Brown.à Perfect for the
job from every angle.Ã Without the amazing friends and family
we have around us USTORM wouldn't be possible.Ã Without them knowing
they are just as responsible as we are.Ã
Our motivation to create USTORM came in many directions.Ã Being very fortunate to
be in the positions we are in life at our age, caring about other people as much as ourselves,
à having unlimited avenues to raise money, having so so so many amazing friends and family
around us and being damm fine people ourselves areà some of the reasons you find USTORM
alive and ready to kick.Ã The right people doing it for the right reasons and wanting to help
issues that are close to homeà where we can see results.
I am very proud of myself, Brendan, Mike and Barry.Ã
Thanks, Kevin
