Just another week until the golf fundraiser wraps up and we pick a winner! What!!!! You aren’t in the wheel yet? Hurry to get it on there for your chance to win the $1290.00 package. What you win - passes to 5 different golf courses, passes to a couple of different golf simulators, three months of online golf instructions, AND a 250 ml bottle of maple syrup! Can’t get much sweeter of a deal than that for just $25.00. All that and you would be helping to raise funds to help the kids fighting cancer at the same time! I’m looking forward to hearing from YOU!

April 13, 2025 - first ride of 2025

Yeah what a gorgeous day! Bike is off the trainer (which didn’t prove as productive as I had hoped) but with the sunshine and a balmy 14 degrees, I did my first outdoor ride of the year! So much to remember though….missed taking a water bottle, forgot to turn my music on till half way, forgot to RESUME my ride after stopping to turn my music on…lol. Seriously though, I really did bike to the highway and back so 8.8 km….and the timing was off as well then! Good thing it’s only a training ride!🚴🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♂️🚲🚵

Why do we do this ride? It's always about the kids fighting cancer. Click the link above, if you would like to help in the fight for the kids, and donate to my Great Cycle Challenge ride this year! No matter how small or how large, it all helps for the cause!

Another day all about the nerves, but it all went well. This morning I was invited to speak to Sacred Heart Catholic Women's League about my involvement with Great Cycle Challenge. While I don't consider myself a great speaker, talking about something I am passionate about doesn't seem so much like a speech, as it does about sharing information to the community.

At 10 a.m. I met with the ladies in Henderson Hall, and did my first PowerPoint presentation to go along with my speech. The fact that the mic cut out several times, lightened the mood and took away some of the jitters about public speaking.

The hugs I received after finishing, tells me that they appreciated learning more about GCC and what it means for the kids fighting cancer!

The group was small, but the donations were large, so I am very appreciative of all the ladies who attended and made me feel very welcome. This was my practice run for another speaking engagement later in the month, so I am looking forward to sharing information about GCC with another group of ladies in the area.

This afternoon my friend Shirley and I headed over to Pine Knot Golf and Country Clu to do the wheel spin for the first golf fundraiser for 2025!

After enjoying lunch upstairs at Mulligan’s Restaurant, we headed downstairs to the Pro Shop to get set up for the wheel spin! It was a fun afternoon and the winner of the fundraiser, Bernice Bentum, was super excited to have won the package! Thanks to 38 people, this fundraiser was able to raise $950 to help the kids fighting cancer! Beginning on April 1st, there will be another golf fundraiser with different courses, some simulator fun, and some online golf lessons, ready to roll out! If golf is your game, be sure to watch my Facebook page for you to have the chance to win the $1290.00 package!

It’s been almost a month since I wrote anything in the blog. That doesn’t mean stuff hasn’t been happening though! Donations have been coming in, although still somewhat slow - but it’s still early so hopefully, as the nice weather shows its face, donations will also pick up!

The first fundraiser has finished up and did very well in the fundraising with one lucky person receiving a great prize package!

The first of two golf fundraisers is currently underway, and wraps up on March 21st! If you haven’t got your spot on the wheel for the chance to win the $1237.00 golf prize package, there are a few more days to do so! And if you miss it, there is another golf package coming for the month of April!

Currently the Shop Local Plus package is almost complete and it has lots of cool things in it for someone to enjoy! The Southwest Oxford Tour package is in the process of being built and I’m hoping to make it something you would look forward to winning as well!

But remember, if you aren’t on the wheel, you cannot win the package! So, hurry to get your name on the spinner wheels as they become available! YOU could be a winner and all together we will be helping the kids fighting cancer, as all the funds raised will be donated to Sick Kids Foundation!

LET’S DO THIS!

Yesterday was the end of the Hi Step fundraiser and we have a winner!!! Janice Holt won the $1097.00 package and I will get the prize package to her when she returns from the UK in a week or so!

It was a fun day at The Evergreen Coffee Lounge in Ingersoll where my friends Shirley and “Steve” helped with the wheel spin! Steve came in his pyjamas in honour of so many little kids who spend so much of their time in pyjamas while going through cancer treatments!

Today is Childhood Cancer Awareness Day, so if you are able, make a donation to raise funds to help get these kids back into their street clothes and having fun instead of being in a hospital in their pyjamas!
