Time to get going
It is now 25 weeks until THE WALK and we have to start raising funds and even more importantly start walking. Sometimes the best way to get motivated is to share with your team mates what you are doing and that is what this blog is all about.


Rachel and I are going to hold a garage sale up here in Aurora on April 17. Luckily for us a friend of ours MJ is emptying out her basement so her son and fiancee can move in and she has tons of stuff for us to put in our garage sale. So after Easter we'll start organizing and hopefully have a beautiful day and raise some funds for THE WALK.

btw - just in case anyone out in cyberspace reads this THE WALK is "The Walk to End Women's Cancer" on Sept 11 and 12 in Toronto. It used to be The Walk to End Breast Cancer.

The other thing that we are working on and hope to have ready to go for our garage sale is a raffle draw. I am working on tickets and finalizing prizes so if you have anything that you would like to put on our raffle, please let me know as soon as possible. So far we have:
1. 4some of golf at Kings Riding Golf Course in Aurora - value $600
2. A basket of booze from Maureen and Colleen - value $300
3. Gift certificates, hopefully Shoppers, Foodland

The more the merrier, so golf shirts, balls, hockey - baseball - raptor tickets, anything you can think of.

Talking to Maureen and Colleen on Saturday, we were thinking that if we all took a book or 2 of tickets and sold them, whoever sold the tickets could keep the money for their pool. There'll be 10 tickets in a book and we were thinking of selling them for $10 each or 3 for $20.So I guess I need to know if you have anything that could be part of the raffle and also if you would like a book or two or thee of tickets. And any comments re the ticket price, etc would be appreciated. I am planning on donating a ticket to everyone who has donated $50 or more to my fundraising as a way of saying thank you to them for supporting me.

Walking is not only good exercise for my body but it also has my brain buzzing with all these fundraising ideas, lol.
