Goodbye Chilliwack, Hello Penticton!

Family sponsoring a boy on our last day!

We had an amazing end of the campaign at Chilliwack. On our last day we had a total of 11 sponsors! Our highest number of sponsors achieved in a day so far. The greatest part about it is that most of the job was done by Mel and John, the got the highest number of sponsors that day. That makes me really proud of them. They have improved so much since their first day, they are putting all their efforts into the campaign and their passion is infectious.

Our goal for Chilliwack was a total of 45 sponsors in two weeks, we where able to achieve a total of 70. It is amazing to think of all the people that opened up their hearts in such a short period of time. It is also amazing how you can almost double your target if you really put your heart and passion into it. We knew we wanted to get more sponsors than what we got in Kamloops, but we didn't expect to achieve 70. We pushed, we talked like crazy, we took rejections, we kept believing until we got what we where looking for: change as many children's lives as we could!

Big John and Me

We had to celebrate our achievement, and we did when we got to Penticton, we when out for a sushi night after visiting the lake. Sushi taste awesome, but if we add the fact that we are celebrating that we helped 70 children to find sponsors, it even tastes better! Penticton looks very promising but even if it didn't, we all believe (and want) we can achieve and surpass our goal.
