Well done Tour De Sierra!! There has been some more donations...

Pauline Chou

Pauline comes regularly to my Friday night class. Apparently she used to work with a My Tobii computer and knows it very well. She has made a very generous donation of $300.

It's quite a funny story...she was at uni and all the other computers were broken. Although the My Tobii is VERY expensive it was the only one available so the team asked her to use it but she was instructed not to touch the screen - that meant using her eyes!!

No wonder she understood the value and ease of use of the machine.

Running total: $10,846.57

Raising $$ by Raffles

During challenge month various items were offerred as prizes for raffles.

For example Liam Cummins from Ultra Builders donated $900 worth of carpentry work!!


In total the raffles raised $662

The running total is: $10,546.57

Very Amazing Veronica!

Veronica is doing 100 days of Bikram Yoga to raise money for Sierra as her challenge. She has been absolutely determined to raise $1000 and she has finally done it.

An extreme athlete and an extremley wonderful woman!!

Thank you Veronica!

The running total is: $9884.57

Tour De Sierra Update

How terrific. Great work guys!!

Running total is: $8884.57

Conrad and Kim

I have the priviledge to know great people. Conrad and Kim are an excellent example. Kim is studying full time to be a Chartered Accountant, Conrad is working full time leading transformational programs in large organisations all over Australia and they are bringing up two children. In their spare time...just kidding!!

Conrad felt especially moved by the opportunity to give Sierra access to language. By leading the programs we lead perhaps we are more tuned in than most to language really being our access as human beings to everything. We even think and dream in language! By giving Sierra this computer which will give her access to using words and actually speaking, we really are opening up the world to her.

Thank you Conrad and Kim for your generous donation.

The running total is: $8411.57

Tracey and Gary


Unfortunately my friend and colleague Gary, died earlier this year. It was a horrible shock for everyone especially his gorgeous wife and children. We all miss him greatly.

Before Gary got sick these two beautiful people had decided they would support Sierra as long as they could.

Tracey made a generous donation, on both their behalf, of $300.

Thank you Tracey. You are a pillar of strength and an inspiration to us all. I greatly appreciate your generosity.

The running total is: $8311.57
