7 · Thursday, July 1, 2010 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.oakvillebeaver.com For Matthew PHOTOS BY KAREN NEWMAN / OAKVILLE BEAVER LOVE MOM AND DAD: Parents of deceased teen Matthew McGregor, William and Sharon, recently held the Matthew McGregor Memorial Adventure Day at Skydive Swoop in Dundas, Ontario. Matthew wanted to skydive on his 18th birthday, but never got the chance -- he died in a car crash five weeks before his birthday. His mom and dad, along with other family and friends, paid tribute to Matthew by hosting the tandem skydiving day, which raised $11,000 for Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, where Matthew spent a good deal of time as a child. Clockwise from top left:William and Sharon McGregor after completing successful tandem skydives. Sharon makes a safe landing with her tandem master Ross Forsyth.

Sharon McGregor said a special thanks is owed to The Queens Head in Oakville, Clancy's in Burlington, The Superstore in Oakville, SWOOP in Dundas and all the family's friends who made the very emotional, tough day for she and William a great success.
