If a child you loved was afflicted with a life-threatening illness, what would you do to make a once-in-a-lifetime dream come true for him or her?

Please help me turn a dream into reality for a candidate of the Children’s Wish Foundation.

On September 22 (ONLY ONE MONTH AWAY), I will be participating in the Children’s Wish Foundation’s Exile Island.

http://www.exileisland.ca/region/british-columbia-vancouver/home

I’m one of only 10 contestants privileged and honoured to be part of this event.

The goal of each contestant is to raise $10,000, the cost of an average wish. I would appreciate any support you can provide so we can make some dreams come true!

Exile Island is based on the popular Survivor TV show theme. I will be paired with a Wish Candidate and together we will compete in physical, mental and creative challenges. If you’re in the area that day, feel free to come down and watch my partner and I raise funds (and quite frankly, kick some butt).

The event is on Wednesday, September 22nd on the lawn of the Vancouver Art Gallery. It is hosted by Tamara Taggart, and I’m not 100% sure on this, but I believe she signed on to host when she heard I was involved. (and by ‘not 100% sure’, I mean I completely made that up…but it is possible).

Other contestants include various business owners and political figures. Not all names have been released but there are 3-4 mayors from the Lower Mainland competing. It could even be a mayor of your city. So if you have any particular issues with potholes or property taxes and you want a little retribution…bribe me with a donation and I’ll sort them out for you.

At this point you are probably thinking how did THEY get into such an exclusive event as ME? After all, I’m a very important person. I have the power to make butts smaller, while they just run entire cities. Nevertheless, they have accepted the challenge and they will be Exiled from the Island.

While I do not have children of my own, there are many in my life and I am greatly affected by the joy they bring. I can’t imagine being a parent or relative of a child with a life-threatening illness.

The Children’s Wish Foundation never turns away a Wish Candidate and they need our support to continue granting wishes.

If you are able to contribute any amount, it is so greatly appreciated. Again, our goal is $10,000 (that’s $100,000 for the whole event) and we only have ONE MONTH to do it.

To contribute:

If you would like to pay online via credit card and receive a tax deductible receipt, you can go directly to my donation page here: http://tinyurl.com/exilecord

If you would like to pay with cash or cheque, please email me directly at cord@peakfitnessmanagement.ca and I will handle everything else for you.

I’m so excited to be able to play my small role for such a great organization.

Please, please, please, do feel free to share with your friends or post this on your own facebook, twitter etc.

Let’s grant as many wishes as possible!

Thank you in advance for any support you may be able to give.

Cord
