Machu Picchu Challenge for Shelter

Welcome to our Machu Picchu Challenge for Shelter fundraising page! Please click the donate link to help us reach our team fundraising goal!

Dear Friends,

Jeff and I are participating in an amazing  Charity Challenge event in August 2015, actually leaving on our 30th Wedding Anniversary Date. We are so excited to have the opportunity to be able to give to the Shelter Foundation in a pretty big way...but it will not be easy and we will need help, between us we need to raise $10,000.00 for the Shelter Foundation a minimum requirement in order for the two of us to participate... these people like to think big and so do we!

We will be doing a number of things over the course of the year to raise funds for this event so stay tuned! But sponsoring us via this website is a big help!

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. 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, we each must raise at least $5,000 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.  

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. 

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. 

Thank You so much for your Support,

Kathy and Jeff McVeigh
