As some of you know, I have set a personal challenge to climb Mount Kilimanjaro on January 4th. I expect to summit January 14th and walk off the mountain by January 16th. My ultimate goal in this challenge is to raise $50,000 for Make-A-Wish Foundation Atlantic Canada. To reach this fundraising goal, I am auctioning off my extensive collection of Panoramic photographs. The online auction will run from November 17th to midnight December 3rd. As you will see, I have an impressive selection of panoramic photographs which capture the beauty and character of the province. I am fully funding my own travel, event and climb expenses ($7,000+) and 100% of all auction funds I raise will go directly to Make-A-Wish Atlantic Canada. It is my personal wish that you view and bid on the online photographs and support me in my efforts to benefit this incredibly worthwhile cause.

I have never seriously fundraised for a charity before and I find this a huge challenge in itself. My goals may appear as steep as the climb itself, but each step I take and every penny I fundraise will be worth it. I am keen, excited and overjoyed to be representing the Make-A-Wish Foundation Atlantic Canada. The Make-A-Wish Foundation Atlantic Canada identifies, organizes and grants “wishes” for children between the ages of 3-17 who have life threatening medical conditions. The organization is not-for-profit and wishes granted are funded solely by personal and corporate fundraising events and private donations. The Atlantic Chapter is currently working on granting 8 wishes and there are 8 wishes in the waiting. Wishes are as varied and personal as the children themselves. A child can wish to “be”, wish to “go”, wish to “have” or wish to “meet”...and with your support, we can share the power of granting a wish to a sick child. If you’d like more information on how this organization grants wishes to sick children and enriches this human experience with hope, strength and joy, please visit http://www.makeawish-atl.ca/

Some of you have already mentioned you are inclined to assist me in this fundraiser and I appreciate your generous support of my efforts.

In addition to the on-line auction, there are two ways to give

Pearl Island (off the coast of Nova Scotia) is guardian to Mahone Bay and the Chester islands. Once a manned lighthouse, it is now only an automated light and the lighthouse keeper’s house and related building which was torn down a few years ago. However, Pearl still has life left in it as it is still home to the Atlantic Puffin. The Puffin is common in summer in Nova Scotia but only around one of its remaining breeding colonies at Pearl Island, Lunenburg County.
