Here we go again...

It's now been 16 months since the Masquerade ball fundraiser we had for Felicity, Blake and Hannah... surely that's enough rest time!?! So here here we go again...
2010 is already shaping up to be a big year for Felicity's program with another amazing 'Outreach' booked in for June and Tanya planning to head back to the States in November for the 'Wide Awake' part of Felicity's program so dollars need to be raised to help cover the cost of these.


You surely remember the outstanding Maryke who ran her first ever Melbourne Marathon in 2008 all in the name of Felicity and her program... well she has started training and is planning to do it all again on June 10th and has convinced a friend, Jocelyn, to join her and run the Sydney Half Marathon on September 19th!
Both the ladies will be doing their runs to raise money for Felicity and with us rallying behind them we have an aim to raise at least $6000.

I have just started to re-vamp the website we had for the last fundraising efforts www.intellectualdisability.org and plan to have information about Fliss, The Son-Rise Program, Markye & Jocelyn's training & aims, paypal donating facilities, photos etc etc etc

We have BIG hopes for this and will be using all avenues we can think of to help support and promote both Markye and Jocelyn so be sure you'll be seeing it on facebook, blogs, twitter and hopefully some newspapers too.... any contacts, ideas and suggestions to help with this would be AMAZING!

Sandpit Ship






We have had this sandpit sitting in the garage for such a long time with the theory we would not bother putting it together until we move.... but it got the better of me this week. The kids love being outside so what the heck... we can always take it with us all put together and just buy more sand!
