Hello dear family and friends,

I am reaching out to you once again for your generous support this year.  If you were able to join us at our après event backyard party last year, you heard me say that I was planning on being around again this May to participate in The Georgian Triangle’s Hike and Bike.  I was determined, but not sure I was speaking the truth.  Due to the wonderful love, support, and prayers of all of you, plus the competent and compassionate care of my health team – here I am!  

I am so very grateful!

If you are able to participate IN ANY WAY, I am thrilled and offer my heartfelt thanks! 

1) Please join our team, Margot's Motivators

2) Register for $35  (you get this year's 2023 green t-shirt and help cover event costs)

3) Then, if possible complete your own personal page and message and email your family and friends who are not participating and invite them to donate. I am making a special plea to those of you who live in the Georgain Triangle to do this. I know you are all generous and support various great causes, many of which you may never receive help from, which is of course, at the root of all charity.  I ask you to explain to your family (yes, your adult children, too) and friends that this great cause is one that, in most likelihood, many of you, or your loved ones, will benefit from when the time comes, as it does for all of us!  I understand, encourage, and appreciate our out of town friends who are supporting Hospice work in your own areas. 

OPTIONS Hike or Bike, (20KM Bikers arrive by 9:30 am, 6 km hikers and bikers arrive at 10:00 am)  OR 

If you are not able to join in the physical activity, whether you are out of town, otherwise engaged, or just not up to the physical activity (as was my case last year)
please:

a) join the team anyway

b) get supporters

c) walk or bike at any time according to your own schedule, OR

d) plunk a chair down at Sunset to cheer the team on, OR

e)  meet in our backyard, aim to arrive between 1:30 – 2:00 p.m. for the after party.

The event provides a lunch beginning around noon.  We will provide simple food and a variety of beverages, as either a later lunch or early dinner.

2. If you have already tapped out your family and friends for other charitable donations this year, I understand. It puts all of us out of our comfort zones to ask for money. I thank you for making your own donation.

If you are joining us for the first time, and would like to know more about the work of Hospice, please follow this link to the website www.hgtfoundation.com

For the last year and a half, you have wrapped me up in a comforting embrace with your generosity of prayers and many acts of kindness.  Despite this rough road our family is walking, your love and friendship has made the journey easier.  I have so much for which to be grateful, and I thank God everyday that I am so blessed to have you all in my life!

Looking forward to seeing you on May 28, 2023.

With love and gratitude,

Margot
