Fundraising Success

A very warm thank you goes out to all those who helped out with my successful fundraising events; garage sale, silent auction, and book sale. As well, I had overwhelming support from my family and friends, the Sport Seneca staff, and the members of the St. Augustine of Canterbury Church. (Watch for photos to be put up very shortly)
I am also very happy to announce that Meaghan's and my plane ticket has been booked, leaving August 6, 2007. We will be travelling through London, England and Nairobi, Kenya before getting into Mwanza, Tanzania.
