Gordon and I are celebrating my 69 th birthday , July 25. We are inviting everyone, who would like to be here in person or virtually to make a donation to the CDA instead of birthday cards and gifts. Our original fund raising goal started out at CAN
$ 1,000.00 ; we have recently changed it to CAN .$ 1,400.00 . You can donate on line Diabetes Summer Surge
or send me a message for more detail .
Hundred percent of the donations will go to the Canadian Diabetes Association towards service, education , advocacy and research . We will host the celebration at a local bistro.
