She is going in the Sydney Colour Run. That's cool, all by itself, but...
Kelly is doing something special, and... she is doing it for me!
This is what she said:
Hi fellow Sydney Colour Runners,
I'm looking to find a helper to assist me with my challenge on the day.
I'm going to be doing the 5kms backwards! Yes, backwards!
Not starting at the end and ending at the start, I mean facing the wrong direction the entire way.
Yep it's nuts but I'm doing this to raise funds for a very special little boy named Dexter and his family.
I need someone willing to help me out with a bit of guidance along the way.
I don't want to stack too many times haha!
If you're keen to help me out please get in touch.
How cool is that!
When I meet her, I will have to give her a big, sloppy kiss!
Kelly works with Melissa.
This is Kelly's MyCause Fundraiser page. If you can sponsor her, that's awesome. If you can't, that's ok. Maybe, you could share the page and help her out that way.
Backwards... 5km!
Fundraisers and Doing it for Dexter Tradie's Mates
We have had a couple of fundraisers, in the last couple of years.
The Tradies Mate's Rates - Doing it for Dexter Renovations isn't a fundraiser.
We had some people ask us about organising fundraisers, to help us out with money for the house renovations.
Thank you, but for this, we are asking Tradie Mates for a little bit of support.
Rather than fund raise (except Kelly and Grace, who've spoken with us), you might like to think about offering a few hours of work when we have some jobs we need help with... or you could bake the Tradies some slice and cake.
Then, there's always the kids. Lenice is due to have her baby sometime during the renovations, and she might appreciate it if someone took the kids for a walk, while she had a few moments to just sit down and relax.
When Dexter's life story is published in a magazine, we will get a few hundred dollars, (more information soon). We will use that money, and any money raised by Kelly (and Grace, more soon) on Tradies... coffees, drinks, an afternoon beer and lunches (though, a local business has offered to help us out with lunches!).
If we get Tradie Foods and Drinks covered, the money can go towards light fittings and other bits and pieces.
