A Huge Success!
Hi Everyone,
The Third Annual Walk for Grace was a HUGE success especially given the poor weather. Over 120 walkers participated raising $21, 600 and counting. We are hoping to be over $22,000 by weeks end when we submit this funding to Sick Kids on Grace's behalf. So if you have not yet sent your pledge, please do so via an on-line donation (make sure you make it in memory of Grace Stanley and ask for it to be placed in The Grace Compagnon Stanley Tribute Fund) or mail me a cheque payable to The Grace Compagnon Stanley Tribute Fund to 2126 Baker Drive, Burlington, L7L 0A8. The walking trails were beautiful, the kids loved the Gymboree activities and the Harvey's BBQ was the taste of summer that we needed to be distracted from the poor fall weather outside of the picnic shelter. Ian and I are so grateful to those who helped execute this day but also to all of those who came out in the poor weather to insure it's success. Thank you so very much! It was a very difficult day wishing that it was not our reality to be hosting a memorial walk for our sweet daughter, however we must now "play the cards we've been dealt" and work positively in Grace's honour. Thank you for remembering and honoring our sweet baby girl.
This will be an annual event and we look forward to the sunshine next year.
Take good care.
Mama misses you baby.
