1.8 million raised!

Post by Peggy »

We raised 1.8 million dollars in one day for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada with the help of M&M meats last Saturday!

Woohoo!

Love,
Peg

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

Polly - 29 more sleeps until New York!

Babrie - I'm sure you'll recognize me by my hair, too LOL.

Granny - chocolate meat?! Never heard of it. Although we do sell chocolate moose turds at all the touristy stores here in Vancouver :shock:

Karen - yep, M&M does a fantastic job for the Foundation. Last year we raised 1.14 million.

All - I certainly can't take any credit except for giving up a Saturday and helping a good cause. I sure did get to talk with a lot of interesting peoples while volunteering...one fellow and I had an extensive conversation about colitis and towards the end of it he noted how strange it was that we could talk so easily about such a horrible disease and our personal *functions* in the bathroom. If he only knew some of the discussions we have around here :lol:

Love,
