SnowTrax Television teams up with Team Vincent Motorsports in Support of ALS Research

 

Guests of the event benefited from spectacular trail conditions and beautiful weather. The Saturday night themed Casino dinner and auction raised in excess of $18,000 in which all proceeds will be donated to Dr. Michael Strong in support of his ongoing ALS Research.

 While the event was largely focused around late owner and founder of SnowTrax Television, John Massingberd; participants of the event were blessed with the presence of Heather and Robert Snell. Heather, who is a close personal friend of Dave Vincent, has been courageously battling ALS for 4 years. Heather’s confidence and positive outlook on life inspired everyone and helped draw support in the search of finding a cure for ALS.

Hello Friends-

Robert and I are just back from a wonderful weekend in the Haliburton area. Our friend, Dave Vincent and Team Vincent Motorsports along with Snowtrax Television hosted the first ever “Ride for ALS” as a show of remembrance for their friend John Massingbred, who fought a short battle with ALS since his diagnosis in April 08. With over 100 sleds, it was a glorious time and the spa at the Pinestone Inn was as great as the trails. We saw  2 deer and Dave even took me for a 3 hour “puttputt” in the “Elite” model which resembles a golf cart on skis but with way more horsepower!!! He drove and I waved at the people(hahaha)!

Between the silent and live auction and individual and corporate donations, they are well over $18,000. WOOWEE! All proceeds go to our friend Dr.Strong and he is thrilled with this news!

In my remarks-yes! I got to speak!!! I said I wanted them to go home from the weekend and talk, talk, talk til they are BLUE in the face about the ride and the cause it was for. They are very generous people and we are lucky enough to now call them friends:) If I can figure out how, I’ll send my short speech out to you…but wanted to keep you updated to our latest adventure.

Happy trails to you-

h xo 

And the love continues

Heather was thrilled and touched when she had a group of young visitors at her house on the weekend.  She sent me this note, I thought I’d share it with you.

hi friends-
we had the sweetest thing ever last night…..our neighbours around the corner stopped in with their 3 wee boys(5,4 and 2?). They’d hosted a skating party on the weekend and put out a can for ALS….in a beautiful hand made card was a ziplock baggie with $220. in it. The card read: “Dear Garry’s Aunt Heather, we had a skating and hockey party and raised money for ALS. The money can help people get better. Ben, Josh and Christopher “.

Is that the sweetest thing ever? YES it is! happy tuesday, h xo

 

 

Thanks to everyone who helps spread the word, and raise awareness of the cause.
