Team Activity:
May
19-20 - Walk weekend!
It rained and rained all weekend.
But with your help we have raised $8,981. We didn't get too many
pictures because we wanted to keep the camera dry. Overall, we still
had a great time and made some new friends on the way. Our crew was
great support and the best part was seeing their faces when we crossed the
finish line.

sponsors - Richard and Maureen. Pictures above. Donations from
Mohemed, Kate and Ray, Donald, Vin, Sarah and Dave, Stephanie, Anon. (we
