Thank you! And how your Aug 13 donation was met.

As you know, our wonderful supporters, the Garron Family were personally matching donations up to $1,300,000...

And as outlined when we announced this amazing pledge, if we were to reach the $1,300,000 limit we'd distribute the matched donations across all your pages, based on a percentage of what you raised over the one day of Kick Cancer's Butt Day. This is the fairest way to ensure that everyone who made the effort, gets the reward. 😊

But unfortunately, this does mean that we can't match all donations completely, so you'll receive a portion of the $1,300,000 based on the total you raised. I'll explain the calculation...

$1,300,000 / $1,890,417 = 68.77% - so we've matched 68.77% of the total you raised on Kick Cancer's Butt Day and added this to your fundraising page.

This is the fairest way to ensure EVERYONE is rewarded for their efforts to kick cancer's butt. I wish we could match every single donation but the response was just so incredible.

We've totalled all donations made through the site on Wednesday, August 13, across ALL Canadian time zones.

You can now view my matched donation on your fundraising page.

Henley Island for brunch with friends.

Today was a sight seeing ride with my team (Cathy), staying off the busy main roads to meet friends for brunch.

Ninety-six clicks, baby!

Life is good. My grandson's birthday was yesterday. My grandchildren are healthy and happy, playing baseball and hockey and gymnastics and swimming.

I want all children to be as happy as they are.

Let's keep this going.

You will feel better once you reach down in your pocket to help another child.

Please donate to this worthy cause.

Here's another pic I took yesterday.

The family trauma of cancer.

Cancer hurts everybody in the family of the person it touches.

Not only do we hurt for our loved one, we lose out on time together, time having fun, time just goofing off.

Little kids don't understand why mom and dad are too busy to play, parents don't have enough time to share.

It's a terrible disease that causes so much trauma.

It must be stopped.

Remember to hug your family.

Welland Canal trail. Third ride.

Took a pic of my trusty steed while enjoying the view.

Riding with Cat

I rode with my teammate, Cat, today.

It is wonderful to share this journey with a friend.

She's been on my GCC team a long time, but my friend for longer.

Thanks for being my friend, my teammate and for supporting this great cause.

First ride of the year for me.

This is year 7 for me riding for Sick Kids to beat Cancer.

Check out my stats on my page. I'm still pledging 300 km a year, which makes me proud of my personal health so far.

I hate this disease. It has touched so many of my loved ones.

I can't do anything myself to cure cancer, but I can donate my time and money to help little kids.

Please help me to reach my goal of $2,500 this year.

Love,

Lori.
