We Are Getting Closer!!!
As of this writing, we are one sleep closer and just 32 days until the Run for One Planet hits the pavement to start our 11,000 mile run to inspire environmental ACTION!
The official numbers are now in for our March 15th Barn Burner. With 6 months of planning, hundreds of volunteer hours from our amazing team and many incredible friends, in addition to a night filled with SO much fun and support from family and friends, we raised just over $23,000! Thank you to everyone who helped to make this a reality. We are forever grateful.
There’s so much going on and still to get done, yet, there is a sense of excitement and smoothness as we approach May 4th. All is falling into place in the perfect timing of things. I think we’ve hit the tour tipping point folks and honestly, it feels REALLY great to be here.
The RV is starting her retro-fit this Saturday, April 5th and will continue until Wednesday, April 16th with everything from the solar panels from Carmanah Technologies Corp, to interiors by m smart-design in Park Royal, to Frogfile (office essential), Go-West RV Centre (solar panel installation), Home Depot’s Eco Options Program (kitchen and bath eco products), and Transform Compost. Our dynamo logo designer Carol Day from Cat Signs & Graphics is doing our sponsors’ logos. Once that is complete, we’ll be pretty much good to go… on to the next task which needs to be completed before we leave!
The EPIC Sustainable Living Expo at the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre will have us (and the RV) on the Apron at the Trade and Convention Center April 18th to 20th. Come down and say, “Hi”. At that time, we will be inducted onto BC Hydro’s “Team Power Smart” and have the opportunity to speak about the tour and what we’re going out there to do!
I know we are forgetting a lot of things, so please forgive us, a couple of people with full plates, full brains and full passion, as we get out there to start spreading the Run for One Planet message of ACTION!!
Talk to you all soon!!!
