Do you shop?

-
There are some pretty exciting things happening in life right now... despite TOO many things happening in life, I know that everything is just rolling along at a decent pace, that this feeling of having too much stuff to do will not last forever, and that right now it is essential.  It is just CRAZY how different everything feels from being in Malawi.

but, one of the things about being in Malawi, is being able to be involved in amazing causes.  This past weekend, I met with a few people about WHEAMS, and the process of making WHEAMS a canadian charitable organization.  Also about what our roles are probably going to be, in taking up this initiative.  folks, you may be taking to a co-chair of WHEAMS in Canada.  woooooOOOOOoooooo!  So, one of the things that will consistently be on my mind, is how can I help to raise money for the fantastic work that is being done? And, this is one thing that can happen.

do you shop?  for food, for groceries, for gifts, for clothes, for accessories, for music, for underwear, for toiletries?  My guess is yes.  so, why don't you shop, while giving to a good cause?!?!  If you would love to do that, get the information by just scrolling down!
SHOPPING FOR A GOOD CAUSE!
Buy Budget Cards, Shop with Budget Cards! 
Contribute to Development in Malawi!

Every year it becomes harder for groups like ours to raise money for our important goals.  Finding an easy and effective way to fundraise is often the difference between success and failure.  That is why we have chosen FundScript and we are inviting you to help. 

Fundsrip is an online fundraising program that asks you to pay for your everyday purchases with gift (or budget) cards brought through the FundScrip website;  a percentage of the cards that you purchase is then donated to our group.

This means that just by paying for your groceries, gas, and other household items with budget cards, you can easily help generate much needed funds to help WHEAMS projects in Malawi.
  • it doesn't cost you anything extra
  • you don't have to change what you shop or what you buy
  • your every day purchases add up to make a difference very quickly!
How does it work?  All the information that you need can be found by clicking on these words.

Thank You for taking the time to read this message!  We really appreciate your help (and if you might re-blog, re-tweet, or share the message on facebook/google plus) in helping us raise funds for what we believe is a sustainable and important project!

Please feel free to email me at roweramo@gmail.com, or the other co-chair of WHEAMS Canada, Liz Johnstone at johnstone.liz@gmail.com, if you want to learn more about why we are raising money for WHEAMS through St. Stephens Anglican Church, or have any questions about FundScrip.

Warm Regards,
Liz Johnstone and Amelia Payne

Can you remind me what WHEAMS is?

Does this program work in the US as well?

Syracuse 70.3 race report

so, let's just start with a comment that I think this sport is hilarious . the things we do (and, read on, you will get some in this report) are ridiculous. Not only because we think that waking up at 4:30 am to go and get your exercise on for 5+ hours straight is fun, but we do things that in normal society would be considered completely inappropriate and people would wonder if you need a psych consult. i find it hilarious the pre-race rituals we have. the need to wear a "i've done an ironman" shirt to race check-in, rather than normal street clothes. the carting around of a gallon water bottle day before a race. the food we eat, and the abnormal sleep schedules we keep. hilarious. pre-race prep was pretty normal. I got to syracuse at about 6pm on friday, and meet Kelly Covert , her husband (also kelly covert!) and boys Noah and Ryan. It was a fantastic place to stay, and we indeed, talked! it was great :) after a solid sleep on friday night, I was able t...

Nursing: Graduation and Jobs!

It is pretty amazing to think about the last few years of my life... in many ways.  I remember the day that I wrote the MCAT in the Fall of 2008, and knew on that day that my life would not be aimed towards becoming a physician.  I was a bit lost, because that is what I had thought I wanted to do for many many years.  I knew that, but, I also knew what I was passionate about:  the physical body and health care, helping people, community, and (well... africa).  The thing that I thought about being doctor, was the extreme amount of "influence" that they can have on people.... Life changing.  But, I also forgot about all the other professions that can be equally influential. through a journey that I don't necessarily need to outline again, I found nursing. And, boy, am I ever glad that I did.  Nursing has changed by life, my perspective, and makes me exceptionally excited about the career that I have ahead of me.   The last three years at McGi...

So, I have recently made a vow that I would never again write a race report on the same day as a race.  Well, that has been nixed for this race.  and, I guess the reason is because... I  know  it is going to be a race report that has no potential to be anything but good :)
