of Alan Rickman

By: Alan Rickman

Alan Rickman kept daily diaries about his life, his friends and family, and his involvement in theater & film projects. Though many of his entries could be seen as a criticism of films or actors, many of his notes - especially in the instance of finding out about the loss of a friend - are deeply loving. With his wife’s permission, Rickman’s diaries have been published to share with those who admired his work, and they will undoubtedly read this collection of entries with his inimitable voice in their head.

Uprichard said fundraising is always happening and they are now helping in their own communities.

Artale said the residents of Amherstburg also help by their attendance.

Beauchamp said Easter Seals helps make them feel like more than just a person in a wheelchair.

“They don’t look at our wheelchairs,” she said. “They look at us. People don’t even notice our wheelchairs.”

Family members of Martin Breshamer, including sons Tom and George, were at the dinner as well. Tom said his father would be pleased the dinner is continuing and said it is his father’s legacy.

“Easter Seals meant an awful lot to my dad,” Tom pointed out.

The dinner was named after their father due to the work he put into the cause and Tom said the family “is very proud of what he’s done for Easter Seals.”

“He would be quite happy this continues in his name,” said Tom.
