Team KATE AND JOSIE TREKKING FOR THE SHELTER FOUNDATION
Welcome to our Machu Picchu Challenge for Shelter fundraising page!
As friends and partners in Real Estate, we've decided to join forces and take on the Machu Picchu Challenge as a team! Over the next several months we will be preparing for this amazing journey, allowing us another great opportunity to support the Shelter Foundation; a remarkable organization leading the fight against domestic violence. Please click the donate link to help us reach our team fundraising goal!
Did you know that every night in Canada more than 3,000 women and their 2,500 children stay in a shelter to escape domestic violence? In many cases, these women are literally running for their lives and demonstrating incredible bravery. If you're like us, you know someone who has been affected by violence or abuse, either in their adulthood or as a child. 67% of Canadians say they personally know a woman who has experienced abuse and one in three teenagers have reported dating violence. Thankfully, the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation is helping to put an end to violence and abuse.
In August, 2015 we will be trekking to the lost city of Machu Pichhu in support of the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation. For 8 days, my friends and colleagues from Royal LePage office across Canada will be trekking at high altitude, sleeping in tents, and going without running water, electricity and cell service. To be eligible to participate, our team must raise at least $10,000 for our local women's shelter! It won't be easy - we will be preparing physically and mentally for the challenge for months. Each dollar we raise and every step we take will make it easier for women and children to walk safely away from violence.
Please click the SPONSOR ME link at the top left side of this page to help us reach our fundraising goal. Thank you for supporting women and children in our community who are rebuilding their lives after violence.
Please note: The Royal LePage Shelter Foundation issues tax receipts in February for all donations of $20 or more made in the previous calendar year.
