Lung Foundation

Hi everyone
Sorry it's been a few weeks since our Wild O8 day. We had a very successful day with almost 50 people turning up. Had a lovely morning tea at Tooradin after the first part of the motorbike ride. We continued on to the Hastings foreshore for a fantastic BBQ. The girls sold home knitted teddies,with tags on them that said,"Hello i'm a little Wild Bear, handmade with lots of love. If you buy me you can Tame me" & knitted dogs,fancy lollie bags,that said, "these lollies are guaranteed to make you wild",gorgeous baskets full of goodies for the raffle & charged $10 for the lunch. We raised almost $2000 which i believe we will make as one of the girls is putting the photos on disc & selling them at this months meeting this Wed. Everyone was interested in my story about Kylie & very enthusiastic about the day,they thoroughly enjoyed it. I got through the day well even though it was day 3 after chemo. I have an amazing bunch of friends and this was so much fun.
Photos to come.
