Dare to Dream: December 2009

We dress up for Halloween and go out with friends. Peter is a 70's cross country skier and I'm a black cat(complete with claws).

We get a blizzard and the snow really drifts behind our apartment in early December.

The Journey...Continues 2010

It began with a dream to cycle for one year, volunteer to benefit children and raise money for a childrens' charity.

It takes courage, committment, hard work, faith, planning and more courage to fulfill this dream. It means leaving a good job, financial security and taking a leap of faith...that everything will work out.

2008-2009 Peter and I cycled in New Zealand and Europe and I volunteered in Nepal.

The Journey Continues

After returning to Canada and working for a year I am returning to Nepal in September 2010 to volunteer for 8 months.

I hope that you will be inspired to "Dare to Dream" and follow your passion.

The Dream-Donations

My dream & passion is to contribute in a positive way to ensure that children worldwide can be safe, carefree and healthy.

I am volunteering with Maiti Nepal.

If you are inspired by our journey and passionate about the welfare of children, I will be honoured if you will consider donating to Maiti Nepal or any organization that benefits children.

My goal is to raise a minimum of $10,000 dollars for Maiti Nepal.

Every dollar counts!

We cycled over 2,900 kilometers in New Zealand.
