2011 Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon/Half Marathon/5k race is Sunday October 16th

This year all 6 of my grandchildren will join me in lacing up our sneakers to take part in this fun and worthwhile event. As much as I'll enjoy the walk itself, the real reason I look forward to it is the opportunity to raise support for an organization that I'm passionate about -- Matthew House .

I hope you will consider sponsoring me to help me surpass my fund-raising goal?

 Support Matthew House 

Every last cent of your donation will go directly to Matthew House

We all know that many people are feeling the impact of these uncertain economic times in very real ways.  However, the unfortunate reality is that the needy in our community suffer the most when the going gets rough, and organizations like Matthew House need support now more than ever.  Difficult times provide a great opportunity to encourage others, to dig deep to show your support for the marginalized in our midst!

Matthew House is a shelter in downtown Toronto that welcomes newly arrived refugees to Canada and provides support and settlement assistance that they need to get on their feet in a new and unfamiliar place.  As a board member of several years I feel it is an honour, to be participating in the run once again, to help raise support this year as we continue offering much needed services to refugees in a challenging economic environment.

Matthew House is no stranger to exciting times and big challenges. As a charitable organization, we rely on the generosity of people like you to propel our mission and purpose (we receive no direct government funding), we continue to need strong support as we grow.  The Toronto Waterfront Marathon/5k is a great way to offer your support to Matthew House, you get the satisfaction of knowing I'll be waking up super early on September 26th to walk! Please follow the link below to my personal event web page and make a donation online in mere minutes... you'll be amazed at how quick and easy it is!  Every dollar counts! You will receive a tax receipt immediately by email.

Even if you're not able to make a financial donation, please keep Matthew House in your thoughts and prayers as we go about our work in the community, and continue to check our website (matthewhouse.ca) for updates!  You can even book a tour of our main shelter in Toronto, which is a great way to learn more about our organization. If you haven't seen our Dundas St. Shelter since its "Divine Design" TV makeover come check it out!
 
I truly appreciate you taking the time to make it all the way through this Post, and for thoughtfully considering my request for support. 

Thanks so much!

Make it a great day!
