28th May in WEST WYALONG – Fundraising mecca of the West!
What a ripper little town West Wyalong is.
Last night I was fortunate to be given a few minutes time at the Golf Club on a microphone to talk with a hundred or so patrons about ride4acure. The golf club kicked off a ‘pass the hat around’ fundraiser after my speech and $641.50 cents was raised in about ten minutes from the very generous people of West Wyalong. Additionally, today I received another donation of $150 from a generous local family, plus when I visited West Wyalong High School after the “Mela-What?” presentation I was handed a cheque for $500 from the Year 11 Leadership group who have been fundraising for a few weeks at the school. I am humbled by the generosity of this place and will forever hold West Wyalong close to my heart. Thank you to everyone for making me so welcome and for the generous donations to ride4acure. A big thankyou to Richard and Sue Maslin and also James and Linda Maslin for their generosity and also to Alex, Leslie and Tim Maitland for hosting me and my three horses for the last couple of days here a”Eastleigh”, and also to Peter the Technology teacher at the High School for donating a bag of horse feed, and of course Emma Petitt local Equine Bowen Therapist, thank you so much for your generosity in donating your professional skills to giving my horses two treatments each to help them stay fit and sound for this big venture. I couldn’t do this without the big heartedness of good people. You’re a Winner West Wyalong!
