Teri 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!

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.

I am now getting some of the images from the day! Look for the YouTube video that will be up this week. I’ll have a link here for it.

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.

Heather holding ‘court’ in the barn. With her laptop ready and Zack Werner at her side, Heather tells Tim to go and have fun!
