Our summer is indeed full of serious training, fun, excitement and blessings!
On June 22, we started a Fundraising page on Facebook. To date, we have received $374 from friends and family, some directly through the page, some through e-transfers, some are by mail and some even brings them to our home in person. Not only that we are blessed with all the help we are getting but running to our community mailbox everyday to see if we got mail helps us build our stamina and keeps us in shape too!
On July 2, we started promoting our Fundraiser: Bud, Pizza and Pasta at the Essence Event Centre CanadInns Garden City. It is such a big surprise from friends and businesses who volunteered in extending their help to us by sponsoring silent auction prizes. To date, we sold over 200 tickets! We are very grateful to all who generously volunteered to help sell the tickets. Many thanks to Lorie Policarpio, so far she sold the most number of tickets and is still selling.
