Lifes Like That

For all you Canadians, you know exactly what I mean by “toonie”, but for you others, this is a form of our Canadian money.  The toonie coin replaced the $2.00 bill and the “loonie” coin replaced the $1.00 bill.  Now that the history lesson is over, I can get on with the post.  LOL

Every year around this time of year children and parents from all around Canada get involved with the “Terry Fox run”.  Terry Fox ran across Canada years ago raising money for Cancer.  He lost his fight with this disease, but his memory lives on.  So today at my kid’s school they will be doing a Terry Fox walk.  For their fund raising efforts they have all been asked to bring in a toonie for Terry.  They were quite excited about doing this and this morning they were both bugging me for change.  So today they will be walking for Cancer research and my young son really hopes that all the money collected will help the researchers find a cure.  They are so proud to be a part of this event.
