Hello Lights,
I hope this message finds you well. Before I continue, let me introduce myself. My name is David Carruthers and I’m an author/entertainer and motivational speaker for kids (adults, too) who resides in London, ON. In saying this, I’d be beyond honoured to have you appear in my upcoming children’s book, “Hockey Joe” as a cartoon character. At the moment, I’ve been extremely fortunate to have gotten a number of incredible people that have said, ‘yes’ to appearing as toons; celebrity coaches, fans in the stands, players, national anthem singers and cartoon broadcasters. Some of the names include; Anne Murray, Kyle Maynard, Vicki Keith, Shavar Ross, Elaine “Mighty Mouse” Tanner, Justin Hines, Tyler Armstrong, Joe Theismann, Charles Schulz (permission from Craig Herman of Peanuts Worldwide Publishing), Chris Temple, James Malinchak, Jason McElwain, Kim Moriarity, Rick “Frosty” Hesson, Jimmy Johnson Jr., Mac Arnold, Amy Wright, David Kim, Silken Laumann, David Patchell-Evans, Jimmy Valvano(permission from Nick Valvano and Sherrie Mazur of the V Foundation), Ty Reveen, Rita MacNeil(permission from her son Wade), Dustin Godnick, Stompin’ Tom(permission from Charles Stewart), Perry Chen, Ashley Cowen, Lucas Wilson, Kent Healy and Mona and Lisa Wagner….I can send you the complete list upon request. Again, I’d be unbelievably honoured and super pumped to have you grace the pages of my future book. It is my GOAL to ASSIST kids by showing them that if an average Joe like me(was a shy kid with a bit of a speech problem can do it-was even scared to speak on the phone to relatives sometimes for fear my stutter would flare up) can do it, they(ALL KIDS) CAN DO it, too!! If you can think of any inspirational people who LOVE kids and wants to INSPIRE them via thus creative venture, please feel free to pass along my contact info(5196799143 and or email me at ). Have to dash as I have an early start tomorrow(today as it’s almost 3am). Have a super week ahead and I wish you and your family a 2015 full of amazing success/happiness!!

Best Wishes and Continued Incredible Success,

David Carruthers

PS Paul Janz(one of my favorite singers growing up) just recently agreed to be a toon. If you don’t know who he is, I highly recommend his work…”Believe in Me” is a beautiful song with a powerful message!
