Kristopher's Wish
Jan 8 - Dec 20 2004
Kristopher Knowles was born in 1990 and was afflicted with the deadly liver disease Biliary Atresia. He needed a liver transplant. Somehow he survived after over 20 operations.He met George Marcello when he was 10 years old in July 2000 during the Canada 769 Day Walk. When Mr Marcello met Pope John Paul 2 in Sep 5 2001, his holiness mentioned to George to pass the torch to the children. At the age of 14 Kristopher had a wish. His wish was to carry the famous Torch Of Life across Canada. On Jan 8 2004, in Kristopher's hometown of Sarnia George passed the Torch to Kris. He carried the Torch throughout 200 cities/towns , while waiting for his beeper to go off indicating that a liver was available for him. The beeper never did go off, but he recruited nearly a million students along the way to become organ and tissue donors. Kristopher will be 19 on April 2009 and is still waiting for a liver transplant and wants to continue in Step By Step's future journeys.
These are the videos that were shown at each of the over 200 schools that he stopped into. JAN 8 2004-DEC 20 IQALUIT NUNAVUT
