Default GT3's and Kids Always Go Together

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN!
Hands Together for a Cure is taking kids for the ride of their lives once again at this years Knox Mountain Hill Climb in Kelowna B.C.
As many of you know helping raise money for childhood cancer research is a passion of mine. Since I started in 2012, I have raised a total of $33,200.00. Every penny goes towards trying to find a cure for childhood cancer.
Last years goal was surpassed with a grand total of $15,200.00 being raised. This year the bar is raised once again to $20,000.00.
With the help from fellow Rennlisters, I know we can make this goal a reality and together we can do our small part in finding a cure for this undiscriminating desease.
Check out the website: www.handstogetherforacure.com

Here are some pics from 2014!




Cole on the left is a cancer survivor took the ride of his life! All rides are sponsored by donors!





I even got tatts for the kids last year! Every hand print is signed by a child with cancer.





Georgia, another cancer survivor and her parents





Who would a thought.......I have a groupie!

Thanks everyone !!!

Thanks for the kind words. These kids definitely see life through a different lens with what they have gone through. They are simply amazing people!
Each weekend I leave Kelowna after the hill climb thinking what a privilege it is for me to be able to do this.

Maybe we could get something started in SoCal. That is inspiring.

I should mention that TPC and Forgeline Wheels have graciously sponsored two rides this year for a cancer survivor or a family member at $500.00 each!
AWESOME support from two great companies!
I have 10 more rides to sell. Common Rennlisters!!

This is outstanding! I was thinking something different when I opened up the thread...Since I may be getting a GT3, my 14 yo son is definitely thinking that GT3s and kids go together...I was trying to figure out a way to tell him that GT3s and kids who help out around the house without bitching go together....

Though it is a lot of work , it is one of those things that I can truly say I get just as much out of doing this as the kids do, if not more. I feel
previledged to be able to do this.
Thanks for the compliment!

Thanks Katie. Hmmmmm, I hope you are not getting rid of the 964 Cup. Kids and house work, yep been there, got the trophy, and yes he is still alive!

This is great Peter! Well done.
And you are right. A very worthy cause indeed!
If you can make it out to the hill climb you can meet the lucky one in person.
Oh and there is definitely a Rum waiting for you at the campsite.
