A big thank you to the Lions Club of Sunnybank for donating $1000 to the Tour de Cure appeal. I attended the opening of their fund raiser “The best little art show” last Friday to accept the donation. Have a look at the video below of the art and my acceptance speech.

Great News, the Tour de Cure has raised over 560,000 so far with 7 weeks to go before kick off day. My personal total is up to $7500 so a little way to go to meet my $10,000 target. Thanks to everybody that has donated so far, we are working on getting up to the one million dollars raised this year.
