Sunday, 14 June 2009 - Drew's Dollar Day

Today our friends Shari and Dave organised a fundraising day for Drew, where everything was to be $1, hence the name 'Drew's Dollar Day. A huge thank you to both of them for all the effort and hard work they put in to making this day a success. Thank you also to friends, neighbours, members of the local community and everyone far and wide who helped and contributed to the day and others who couldn't make it but were with us in thoughts. It is hard to put into words the appreciation that is felt when a day like today is organised on your behalf, and the lift that it gives Drew. He was so excited and determined that he wasn't going to need to go back to hospital before the big day - he made it and had a great time, seeing his friends from school, Adam, Dylan, Avalon and Lachie M, to name a few, was magic for him. He was totally spent when he got home. It was also 7 months since he was diagnosed.
