Update on Peru

Well is about 5 days until I leave and I've collected almost $900 in donations and have spent about $160 of that on a duffle bag full of school supplies to take to the kids.

I myself spent over $650 on gear and clothes for me to wear like: hiking shoes, rain gear, etc. I love Mountain Equipment Co-op now! They have great stuff and I got a lime green jacket - love it! I'm gonna be the best dressed hiker there.

I am looking forward to this trip but will miss Rob, and have lots to get done before I go still. I will of course take lots of photos but won't be able to post them until after I get back - as I don't have a laptop right now.

If you want to reach me while I'm gone, best way is on Facebook and I'm going to set up Skype too. Email me if you want the info on how to stay in touch with me. I leave September 12th, back October 2nd with some amazing stories no doubt!

Peru kids need our help!

It is now only 3 weeks until I leave for Peru. I'm very excited to make this trip and now more than ever the people, and especially the kids, of this country need our love and support.

As part of the tour I'm with we will be participating in making lunch and helping give these kids school supplies and shoes that are much needed. Even just $10 will buy 10 kids shoes!

This is the tour I'm going on:
Red Lotus Tours



This is the charity we are working with:
Path of the Heart





How can you resist those faces!

Both are run by amazing women (I know the tour lady and am anxious to meet the other one) that have incredible visions for the world and helping others. I want to try and do my part too.

That's where you come in. I wanted to raise $500 to take with me - I should have that no problem. So now I want $10,000! My boyfriend suggested I think bigger so I am. I don't know how it will come, but I'm putting it out there so it will get passed along and someone that has the money will come to me with it. Your job is to pass this along to everyone you know, and for them to do the same. Eventually it will get to the right person or group and back to me.

So - what are you waiting for, get emailing please!

Thank you!
