The cold, damp, dark winters have already begun creeping up on us here in Canadialand (well, for me at least, perhaps for Dancy as well) and I must confess, I find myself dreaming more and more about the vast and warm expanses of the Kazakhstan desert that we’ll be sure to encounter on our trek across (parts) of the world.
Some days this trip cannot come fast enough and, at other times, the daunting weight of everything that needs to be accomplished in the next eight months seems almost impossible to surmount. We have no car, a rather haphazardly planned route and only tentative sketches of sponsorship at best - BUT today we have managed to secure our very first charitable donation! (At least, the first officially recorded one through our canadahelps donation page, which, (shameless plug!) can be accessed here).
My lovely godfather has been generous enough to donate $100.00 towards our cause and, let me tell you, I couldn’t be happier! That little $0 marker was making me rather depressed in recent days.I was also beginning to worry that the donation function of our page was, well…broken. but all hope is not lost and I can once again regain my faith in both humanity and technology! though that is beside the point.
Speaking of technological advances, Dancy and I have both uploaded rather silly youtube vidoes, here and here which, I think I speak for both of us when I say, we would love for you to check out! You may learn something you never knew about us…unlikely, but still.
As always, please pass the word on to friends & family, any and all support helps - even if it’s just word of mouth.xxA.
