Invitation to Trillium Gift Of Life Network

On behalf of all the members of Step By Step,

we look forward to a working relationship with Trillium Gift Of Life Network.

For the past several months we have been preparing our organization’s 8th Campaign called;

Register Now: Ontario Student Torch Of Life Relay Tour.

We hope that we can arrange a thorough presentation on this important campaign

to the board of directors and the staff.

We are all very excited about this campaign and our goal;

Registering over a million people on the newly created Organ/Tissue Registry.

Since our inception in 1996, we have brought 7 tours to Ontario,

recruiting thousands of people building events in over 100 communities.

The Torch Of Life has been carried into these communities by our youth, building an amazing Legacy.

We called these young ambassadors Student Torch Champions.

As we speak the excitement in this campaign is bigger than ever as we establish working relationships,

with schools, media, churches, 3 levels of Government and other groups & members from 72 cities & towns.

Step By Step is a registered Charity dedicated to promote organ & tissue donations. Since 1996,

The Torch Of Life: The Legacy

June 13 2000 -The Torch Of Life Appears

The Torch Of Life mysteriously arrives at Step By Step’s doorstep of their office at 170 Lauder Ave in Toronto. June 20 2000 – 2002 Canada 769 Day Walk

George Marcello, began a 12,000 km walk across Canada, thanking his anonymous donor family, carrying this beautiful Torch. On September 5, 2001, George was invited to bring the Torch to Vatican City, where Pope John Paul ll blessed it. The Pope

proclaimed that Organ & Tissue donations was a genuine act of love and wisely encouraged the kids to carry the Torch. He said the youth would inspire the World. Afterwards thousands turned to millions of Torch Bearers and the legacy grew.

January 2004 – Kristopher’s Wish

George passed the Torch to 13 year old Kristopher Knowles in his hometown of Sarnia. Kris was in need of a liver transplant and carried the Torch across Canada. Like a modern day pied piper, Kris recruited hundreds of thousands of kids as he talked to

them about his wish, to help save over 4,000 people waiting for organs and not worrying about his own life. October 1 2007-2008 SOS4000 Canada Student Torch Relay

Kristopher passed the Torch to his army of students, who relayed the Torch throughout Canada these amazing kids set an example for other countries to follow.

October 23 2009-2010 SOSTHEAMERICAS USA / Canada Student Torch Relay

This time the Torch began in Alaska and went through Canada, entering the USA via Maine. The Torch went through 13 States before finishing in Washington DC at the Pope John Paul ll Cultural Center on April 14 2010.

October 31 2011 – Donor Dads in memory of Nicholas & Ahmed sparks Ontario Tour

2 famous Donor Dads, were brought to Toronto, to carry the Torch in memory of their sons Nicholas & Ahmed. In 1994, Reg Green lost his 7 year old son while vacationing in Italy, due to a botched robbery . He donated Nicholas’s organs to 7 Italian

kids. Ismael Khatib lost his 11 year old boy In Jenin Palestine, due to mistaken shot by an Israeli Soldier. He donated Ahmed’s organs to 5 Israeli kids. Ahmed’s brother Khaled will join Kristopher Knowles throughout the entire 110 day Ontario Tour. They

will urge The students of Ontario to lead way to inspire the public to register as organ donors. Hopefully one day nobody needs to die waiting for an organ/tissue transplant.

To our Sponsors &Supporters:

Since the inception of Step By Step in 1996, the founder & the inspiration, George Marcello has literally

devoted every minute of his life trying to help people that are in desperate need of organ & tissue

donations. As it has been said, he didn’t know how to sing or dance, and after receiving his life saving

liver transplant in 1995, he wanted to thank his anonymous donor by walking across Canada. As a result

of 7 more campaigns & 50 million steps later, George has guided Step By Step to receive international

attention. His passion & actions speak louder than words. Step By Step & the Torch Of Life have become

a brand. As a result of 15 years, of boots on the ground activities, Step By Step has amassed supporters

worldwide. The famous Torch Of Life has become our cherished symbol and the kids that carry it have

become our ambassadors. After blessing the Torch, Pope John Paul 2, and many other distinguished

people have all echoed that our children can change the world. In our latest campaign, Register Now Ontario

Student Torch Relay, we are determined to reach an ambitious goal; register over a million Ontarians.

Many times over the years, George has set his sights high. When he said he was going to convince

Premier Harris to allocate over million dollars, he did it. When he said he was going to walk across

Canada and meet the Pope, he did it. When he said, he was going to bring a 13 year old boy who

needed a liver transplant across Canada, he did it. When he said he was going to organize thousands

of kids to relay the Torch from Canada To USA he did it. When he said he was going to bring 2 of

the world’s most famous organ dads to Toronto, he did it. So now he says that Step By Step’s

army of kids in Ontario will inspire the Province to register over a million people, they will do it. He

always worked with barely no budget, and completed things. Lets make it a little more comfortable

for him this time around. Join us by contributing at the beginning. We all know George deserves it.

Lets get behind him and let him do what he does best organize & save lives.
