I did not see it coming

I was asked to be the keynote guest speaker at the Decor Cabinet Charity Golf Tournament in Morden, MB, held on August 20, 2010. They raised over $80,000.00 this year. In total they have raised over $500,000.00 for three local charities in seven years. Last year's speaker was Milt Stegall, so I had some big shoes to fill.

It went very well and imagine my surprise when Larry Dyck, the President of Decor Cabinet announced an exception to their standard practice of supporting local charities only. They decided to direct $10,000.00 to MCFCF. I did not see that coming and I was totally surprised.

Thank you ever so much. It is these type of experiences that keep me going. This brings the total of pledges and cheques to more than $125,000.00 to date.

We are still getting online donations and receiving cheques in the mail almost daily. The cycling part of Hot Pursuit 2010 is over, but the opportunity to be the instrument of change in a child's life remains.

Thank you.
