I’d like to first take this opportunity to apologise for begging for money for a fund raiser – but as my dear friend Audrey says – no mercy.
With that being said – here are a few things I’d like to say.
As a mother – I have been fortunate enough to have healthy children.
There is nothing more terrifying as a parent to see your child in pain or suffering.
There are so many children out there that won’t grow up to adults- there I said it – it’s out there.
There are so many children with chronic illnesses that will never live a long life – there are so many parents that will not get to see their children grow up and these parent!!! these parents are so strong!! – They soldier on – trying to squeeze as much time as humanly possible with their children – trying to cram a life time of experiences into their short little lives!!!
Ok – ok calm down – getting worked up here.
The Make a Wish foundation – https://makeawish.ca/ – is doing everything they can to make children’s dreams come true. From Disney – to meeting a star sports figure. It is aiding in taking the financial burden off the over stressed and most likely tapped out parents.
This June 6th – I was volunteered to jump off a building – actually rappel down a building with some very good friends of mine.
Rooney Feeds in Kemptville Ontario and the proprietress Audrey Rooney has worked tirelessly for years fund raising and supporting this cause. Audrey Rooney has raised thousands for Make a Wish and this year – I am part of that team – and you know what?? I am truly honoured to be part of that team.
Audrey Rooney and Rooney Feeds is a fixture in my community of Kemptville. I am proud to be part of this community.
We moved here knowing no one – we started this farm not having much of a clue what we were doing – but we made friends and we got involved.
Our team consists of four bad ass chicks – Audrey Rooney – Manon Sparling (who I have met a few times and we bonded over lost cats and spirits) and Tasha Vaive who I have not even met yet and already feel that connection.
I promise that once this is over – life will go back to normal with non political non money begging posts but please – if you can – donate to our team – we really really want to jump.
Here is our team link – https://cause2give.unxvision.com/P2PWeb/PublicTeamPage.aspx?TeamIdView=2705&EventId=441&LanguageId=1
If the link does not work – message me.
I have a feeling that when this is all over – someone would be more than happy to push me (wink wink)
Thank you
