As most of you know, with the support of my family and friends, I have committed to once again taking on the Wellspring Peloton Challenge this year. While the cycling training necessary to make the journey to Texas this October will happen as I have done in previous years - our focus for 2013 will be to further step up the fundraising in support of Wellspring Cancer Foundation.
It was kicked off today with a fantastic event planned by my amazing wife Gail, who transformed our house into a tea room this afternoon. With 5 tables and 2 sittings - friends and family came out for High Tea and enjoyed a unique selection of teas, finger sandwiches and delicious desserts.
Additional thanks for Lidia, Patricia, Wanda, and all our servers who volunteered their time and help!

The event raised $585 towards our personal goal of $20,000 this year. It will be the first of many events we plan to have over the next 8 months. Thank you to everyone for your ongoing support and special thanks to Gail for getting things off to a great start!
p.s. For those of you who could not make it...the online fundraising website is now also up and running! www.wellspring.ca/billyc
