I have been completely amazed by the generosity of people who don't even know me personally, yet are prepared to donate to my cause :-)
I have been to visit three of my sponsor shops and the result on the money tin collections at their front counters is unreal!
Sister Cafe at Cotton Tree: Raised $70.20
Sister Cafe at Palmwoods: Raised $80.50 (someone left a ten dollar note in the tin!)
Collection of Rainbows Giftware: Raised $23
This is incredibly excellent from all of you!! I am very grateful to the kindness of your staff (some of which emptied your tip jars for me!) and your wonderful customers!
So the total at this point is $660.20! Not long until the target goal of $750 :-D
If you are able to donate at Canada Helps, I would be most appreciative!

Thanks for dropping by! I'm off to practice my Khmer now ;-)

Between the 29th of December 2010 and 11th of January 2011, I will be cycling 700 KM through Cambodia, to experience the local culture and raise awareness of sustainable projects that help support the local people. Please support me as I campaign to improve the living conditions for Cambodians.

Excellent Updates!
I know it has been a little while since I last posted on here, work has taken up so much time!
Just a quick report on some of the progress made with fundraising :-)
The BBQ raised $474.60 total! I am happy with this result. I was very fortunate that the people who won my $100 prize raffle donated the prize straight back to me! I am very grateful to Natasha and Chloe for donating back the prize winnings :-)
Today I collected my money tin from Sister Cafe Cotton Tree. Thanks to the generous staff and patrons of the cafe, I raised $70.20 total!
So far I have raised a total of $654.75. This includes all of my fundraising actions and the individual donations I have collected so far.
I have a donation page with Canada Helps, please support me if you can! I am grateful and humbled for all of the help I have received so far!

There is still more to come, but just that quick update for now :-)
