Thanks to the Ayr Farmer’s Mutual Social Committee

Thank you to the Ayr Farmer’s Mutual Social Committee for its generous donation of $500 to ALS Research.  It is wonderful to have so much support in our community.

Heather Chillin’ on these cold winter days

Heather is doing really well at her new house.  She’s been busy thinking up new ALS fundraisers.  We saw her on the weekend and had a great time visiting.

All Hail the Mighty Moose

Our greatest thanks and appreciation goes out to the Wideman family and Moose Winooski’s for their magnificent fundraiser and education program.

They solicited $3000 in donations for ALS Research from their customers, and then matched that $3000 for a total of $6000 raised.

Thanks to everyone who came out for a good meal, and a great cause.

Come one, Come all!

Moose Winooski’s has extended their ALS fundraiser AGAIN.  Come and enjoy a great meal, and support ALS research and education this weekend.  Donate a loonie or toonie and The Moose will match your donation.

Thanks everyone for the remarkable support.

Quick Reminder

Come out to Yeehaw farms on Sunday.  Wear your blue, ALS attire and tell them you are attending for Heather and then the money will go to ALS Research.  Check the post from a few days ago for more details.  See you there.

Come and Enjoy Dinner at Moose Winooski’s

MooseWinooskisTeri Vincent reports…..News Flash…another friend to Heather and Dr. Strong *ALS Research
 
Moose Winooski’s has a wonderful promotion until October 15th at their “new” Kitchener location. Every guest is
invited to donate a “toonie” with their bill and all the proceeds will go to Dr. Strong *ALS Research.

Moose Winooski’s will match all donations collected during this campaign. So make a point of telling your friends and family and better yet – get to Moose Winooski’s before the 15th and help make the tally grow. While you’re selecting your “awesome grub”, you can read the wonderful insert in every menu that showcases our “Heather”, Dr. Strong and some facts on ALS.
 
So “two thumbs up” to Moose Winooski’s for this generous opportunity to raise funds and raise awareness…they even have the “Dear Heather” books on site for sale!

Come One, Come All

There will be an ALS Awareness Day at Yee Haw Adventure Farm on Sunday October 4, 12-5 pm to support Heather Snell in her continued quest to raise awareness and funds for ALS research being done at the London Health Sciences Hospital.

A portion of your regular price admission will be donated to ALS research. All you have to say is that you are a “friend of Heather’s”, wear a blue ribbon or your ALS T-shirt! Yee Haw Adventure Farm is located just outside of Cambridge, near the African Lion Safari.

Visit the website at www.yeehawadventurefarm.com fordetails and for a map of how to get there. Put on your straw hat and your rubber boots and bring out your whole family to enjoy a beautiful fall day at the farm while you support a wonderful woman and her worthy cause. Hope to see y’all there! Yee Haw!

Heather and Bob arrive 2009

Heather and Bob arrived at the Hoot in style this year, in a Model T Ford that had just completed a transcontinental race displaying the ALS Logo and collecting funds along the way.
