We start our lives relying on the comfort and support of our families. This enables us to flourish and to grow. Soon we are taking small steps. Wobbly at first, we slowly gain confidence until we are able to walk from one end of the room to the other. Eventually we are running outside, freedom in the wind. Behind us, we leave our footprints—proof of our endeavours, proof that we were there.

When we encounter difficulties in our life, our souls reach out for that same support that we had as infants. For the fortunate among us, we can look to our parents or our brothers or sisters, to our spouse or to our children. We lean on them, talk to them and cry with them. We look beside us to see that their footprints are marking the earth with us.

This print is dedicated to all of those that are there to provide support. It is for those who are at the side of the road screaming words of encouragement to finish that marathon. It is for those who raise money for research to find a cure or at least stop the pain. It is for those who are there to provide a shoulder to cry on or a hand to hold. It is for those that have watched their love one win their battle with cancer and it is for those that have had to watch their lives slip away. They have all left their mark and their “footprints” remain.

“Footprints” was created to aid in the fundraising efforts of Ironcops for Cancer, a team of police officers and civilian members who raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society and compete in Ironman Canada every second year. Partial proceeds from the sale of this print will be added to the Ironcops for Cancer donation to the Canadian Cancer Society. “Footprints” is available exclusively through the Inuit Gallery in Vancouver, BC.
