While the weather prevented the wheel spin for the second golf package to happen on May 1, 2025 as Sally Creek Golf Course closed early, the plan is now to do it on Saturday, May 3, 2025, still at Sally Creek. So by tomorrow evening we should have a winner.

With that being said, and the interest shown already in the SHOP LOCAL PLUS fundraiser, which was to start on May 15, 2025, I have decided to open it up right away. So, for anyone interested in supporting me in my efforts to raise funds for childhood cancer treatments and research, and wanting the chance to win an awesome INGERSOLL PACKAGE valued at $1,446.00, feel free to get your name added to the wheel!......there's lots of room on the wheel for everyone

Tomorrow is the wheel spin for finding out who wins the second golf fundraiser package. I spent the afternoon at Sally Creek Golf Course to gather a few more names on the wheel. Three more names on the golf wheel, and two more on the next wheel which will be the Shop Local Plus wheel. I am so tempted to launch it as it’s an awesome package and quite a few people have already approached me with money to get their name on this wheel! What do you all think, should I wait til May 15th to launch it, or are you just a wee bit curious to see what’s in the next package🤷🏻‍♀️!

Oh, and also I picked up another prize for the Southwest Oxford Plus Tour package which also has some really cool stuff in it! Let me know what you want me to do….release now or wait till May 15th!

I will do it how you want but regardless of release date it will run until June 10, 2025

Five more days for the current fundraiser! Are you on the wheel already - then you have a 1 in 42 chance of winning an awesome golf package valued at $1290. Those are decent odds to get some free golfing! If you haven’t nailed down your spot yet, there is still time! Message me to find out how you too can have the chance to win!

Then after a short break I have something special for people to enjoy! Stay tuned to my page for details!

REMEMBER, this is always about raising much needed money for kids fighting cancer, so while the fundraisers are fun and give someone the chance to win an awesome prize package, we do this to give kids the opportunity to live their lives outside of a hospital setting and just be kids like they want to be….healthy, and CANCER FREE!

April 23, 2025

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!

March 16, 2025

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!
