My name is Jeremy Fowler. I was born and raised in a rural community outside of Hampton, New Brunswick, Canada. I lived with my family in a green house overlooking the Hammond River and there was a cow pasture beside us. Dad's parents lived across the road and Mum's were close by too. We had a cat and dog when I was younger who had both passed away by the time I was 9. When I was 11, I freaked out when I realized where 'meat' came from and haven't been able to eat it since (although I do eat dairy and eggs). My brother moved to Toronto when I was 12. I lived with my folks till I was 18 years old when I moved to Fredericton, NB where I attended St. Thomas University.
When I was 19 years old, I was diagnosed with Testicular Cancer. You can read about that on the "Survivor" page. http://www.jeremyfowler.ca/p/survivor.html
Over the first 22 years of my life, through all my education, after all my life experiences, I have developed a love for hockey and sport, spoken word and literature, adventure and the outdoors, film and theatre, and I like to paint. I cook, I clean, and someday I will do something great.
Why read this blog?
Cause I have been there. I have seen things. All I want to do is share my experience.
I know that as you read you'll see you are reading about yourself and maybe we'll start to learn that we're all in this together.
Cheers.
I knew you were a vegetarian, but I didn't realize you had been since you were 11!
