We did it!
Well that sure was fast. Just a few days ago I was still shy of 75% of my $2,500 fundraising goal for the 2025 Tour Alberta for Cancer, but thanks to a sudden rush of new donors I’ve hit that milestone!
For the fourth year in a row I’m excited to say I’ve hit my minimum fundraising goal for this year’s Tour campaign!
