Celebrated Dawson graduate and Lieutenant Governor’s Youth Medal recipient Bradley Heaven, who was born with Dyskinetic Cerebral Palsy, and his aide Dan O'Connor are coming back to Dawson College!

Brad and Dan, in collaboration with author and Dawson English teacher Andrew Katz and professional illustrator and Dawson grad Antonio Luzano, warmly invite you to their book launch for RUN: The Making of a Graphic Novel, taking place in Oliver’s (2C.17) on Thursday, April 23 from 5-7.

The book is an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the partnership of this all-Dawson creative team and their process in creating a graphic novel about Brad and Dan’s epic first marathon run. Each book will have its own handwritten number, making it a one-of-a-kind collector’s item, and will feature stories, sketches, storyboards and other artwork that readers rarely get to hear or see, along with a sneak peek of the opening chapter from the graphic novel.

1$ from every book will also go to support March of Dimes Canada, a charity which provides a wide range of services to people with disabilities throughout the country.

There will be food and music, as well as a silent auction that includes the chance to be drawn as a character in the final graphic novel.

Thanks for running with us! Hope to see you at the launch.
