The Swing at Ocean City, New Jersey’s Wonderland amusement park on the boardwalk
Mondays can be brutal, but a Monday after driving 1,200+ miles or 2,000 kms over a weekend requires major caffeination and a lot of willpower not to crawl underneath my desk for a nap. I’m going to see if I can catch a short snooze now, but I may just wake up tomorrow… before I go, I’d just like to thank everyone who donated online over the weekend to sponsor me for the Terry Fox Run on Sunday. I’m two-thirds of the way toward my goal of $300 thanks to the generosity of these kind folks. I’ve got six days to raise $100, so if you’d like to make a contribution, fire away! Your donor information will not be public (I’m the only one who sees any info), and you will receive a CCRA income tax receipt in PDF format right away. Apologies to those outside of Canada who can’t get an income tax deductible receipt valid in your country, but rest assured the Terry Fox Run is a well-established charity that has been supporting the National Cancer Institute of Canada for more than two decades. 87 cents of each dollar raised goes directly to NCIC.
From the Terry Fox website:
An electronic tax receipt for your donation, in accordance with Canada Customs and Revenue Agency, is sent to the e-mail address you provide and can be printed out on a printer. If no e-mail is provided, it will be mailed to the street address on the form. Our Charitable Registration Number is 10809 9979 RR0001 and our privacy statement is available for viewing.
More photos of the weekend to come, after a battery recharge. I did get to go flying!

I’m glad there was some extra time to donate, because I certainly wanted to! I, of course, support running for a good cause since did it myself last November for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in honor of my uncle. Thanks for supporting an organization that will help people with cancer. And congrats to you on doing the run! If you ever want a running buddy, just give me a call!
I wish I could donate, cause I donate all the time when a friend asks me to, but I have less than $100 to get me through the month now
So sorry!!
Hi Gail – Good luck with the run! I’ll be hitting you up for the Run for the Cure in a few weeks, teehee (that’s the one I committed to doing once my Mother was diagnosed with Breast and Bone cancer).
Have a wonderful experience! It really is moving to be with so many people on one day, working towards a cause.
Thanks everybody! Please don’t feel obligated to donate if you can’t afford it. I would feel worse if you did. These runs are annual, so there’s always next year…
Katy, send me your donation page link to remind me!
