The event is in support of the Cameron Harvey Machado Memorial Fund, in collaboration with the St. Joseph’s Health Care Foundation.
MacKenzie and Alexander Machado were Cameron’s first cousins. Speaking with Global News on Friday, they said that he was always “a shining light in the room.”
“He was someone that you just kind of gravitated towards, he had like a magnetism to him, and was just very charismatic and someone you always wanted to be around,” Alexander said.“He just had a very calming presence,” MacKenzie added. “If he was in the room with you right now, you felt like you belonged there as well.”
According to his family, “Cameron struggled with anxiety for years with only intermittent relief from medication.” “I just kind of thought that here’s a guy that doesn’t seem like he struggles with anything at all, he was struggling, and we obviously came to find that he was struggling with a lot,” Alexander said.
