If that doesn’t convince you, I’m not above leaning into good, ol’fashioned, guilt.
Through the year, outside of work hours, my phone dings—weekends, evenings, in movies, while I’m sleeping—messages creep in from social media or I get pulled aside in the grocery store.
Full transparency, I love pets, and I adore people who love their pets, so I don’t mind–honestly. I know my general advice can bring peace and comfort and this is why I do what I do. Heck, I’m a veterinarian, but when asked how to repay me for the tips and time, I’m quick to share…
“When my marathon comes round, sponsor me!”
So, if I’ve answered your phone call, text message, or MSM to discuss what to do because you just ran over your dog or I looked at photos of your dog’s stool, or the possible tick attached to their leg… if we discussed the medical condition of your uncle’s dog, or your friend’s horse after hours, then your name is on my list and it’s time to sponsor me in the Muskoka Novel Marathon to raise money for ADULT LITERACY.
If you’re convinced… PLEASE DONATE HERE!
This isn’t your typical marathon. I’ve been training, but not as you expect. I’m not carbohydrate loading or running 5 miles each morning. I’ve been practicing sitting in one spot without my buttocks falling asleep and plotting the twist in my current novel.
On July 10th 2025, I’ll be in the Muskoka’s, with an amazing group of people, to write for 3-days-straight to raise money for ADULT LITERACY.
The links between adult literacy and overall wellness are concrete. Those of us empowered to read acquire jobs, leading to financial security, benefiting the reader and their families. People who can read are handed a map to their own happiness.
All funds raised in the marathon go directly to support ADULT LITERACY programs.
If this is what you needed to hear… PLEASE DONATE HERE!
And again, a bonus…
Everyone who donates will be entered into a draw to win a PET PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION with CHRISTIE of CountryCreek or A DOZEN CUPCAKES – hand made by the incredible, CUPCAKES by HOPE!
So please, DONATE HERE!
Thank you kindly for your support!
