Happy Birthday to....Me!

I woke up today one year older and hoepfully, as with every passing year, wiser then the one before it. When it comes to birthday wishes I try to stay pretty realistic, seeing as the pony I've been hoping for since I was three has yet to arrive. Wisdom, along with continued health and happiness top this list again this year for things I hope for in my 29th year.

Okay, well that's not exactly it. I do have one more wish:

On June 25-26 I will captain my company's relay team at the Easter Seals' 24 Hour Relay which raises money for totally awesome children and young people with various disabilities in Canada. Over the course of the 24 hour period my team will run 1 mile laps in Coronation Pak to raise funds and awareness for this awesome cause. As the captain I  pledge to be there for every minute of the event. It really is that important to me.

My birthday wish is actually two fold so here goes:

If you live in or around Toronto and want to run a few miles for a great cause join my team as an honorary member and come check out the fun that day. (email me for more information about participating in the event)

and/or

If you can, please sponsor me as I aim to raise $500 through pledges and other fundraising efforts

If you'd like to make a donation please click here. Even $5 makes a huge difference in the lives of these children.

The way I see it is I am so lucky for all that I already have that I want my birthday to be about helping others this year.

Oh and cake! I'm not quite ready to give up cake.

 

So tell me, what's your favorite way to spend your birthday? When is your birthday so I can come and wish you a HB on your special day?
