Overwhelming Response!!!

Wow, the overwhelming response and support has left me absolutely overwhelmed. As of this morning, I reached my $3,500.00 fund-raising goal. At the beginning of this journey, I would never have expected to have reached it, let alone this early in the process. I realize that was my own mind playing tricks on me...a product of my own lack of confidence or fear. But I did it. No actually, we did it. So thank you.

Having said that, I have decided to continue and challenge myself even further. I have decided to increase my fund-raising goal to $6,500.00. I know that is a big number, but it is just a number, just like 660 km (distance from Toronto to Montreal) is just a number. It is all psychological. If we believe we cannot do it, we won't. If we have doubt in our thoughts, we will carry doubt in all our actions. It's a tough thing to conquer as we are human and it is our nature to have fear and trepidation . But Strength, determination and the will-power to conquer those fears is also a trait of being human. All personal challenges can teach you a lot about yourself and your abilities.

This journey has already been a mind-altering and life changing experience, and I still have 3 months to go. I am confident that I can reach my new goal and am honoured to have such supportive friends and family who have supported me and PWA. Thank you.

Sincerely Alex
