Tour De Sierra Update
We have received another $473 in donations this week from the Tour De Sierra team!!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.

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.

Capital to Coast Bike Ride - Cycle for Sierra
My friend Adam organised the Capital to Coast Bike Ride in July to raise money for Sierra.
"I am cycling 60 miles to raise money for his friends' baby who was born with severe Cerebal Palsy.I bought a bike a couple of weeks ago after not cycling for many many years and have decided that this would be an appropriate way to get some hours in on the bike, make a difference in a little girls life and the lives of her parents, my friends."
Adam raised £473 = $860
Thank you: Jacqui Gilliatt, Caro Monaghan Pauline O'Grady, Robert William Ross Walker, Janet Berenson, Tui Mcclelland, Tiffany Mills and all others who donated and participated.
The running total is: $8011.57

Mystery Mark
The day before 13 crazi yogi's did all 5 classes in one day mystery Mark came into the Fitzroy studio. He was looking around the Sierra fundraising desk then went over to Michael and Susan and said, "I'd like to donate, how do I do that?" Michael said, "You can give the money to me." Mark pulled out a wad of cash. 
Michael was expecting him to pass over one $50 from the top, instead he handed over the lot!
Susan and Michael were too embarassed to count it at the time but as soon as Mark left they discovered he had donated $500.
The very next day it was "All 5 Classes" day. Shane and I had Sierra with us in the studio so people could connect with her. I was sitting in front of the computer and I heard Susan say, "Karen this is Mark!!"
I said, "Oh Mark...Here is the child and here is the computer." I shared with him about Sierra and showed him how to use the computer. Of course we also thanked him for his generous donation.
After that next class, totally unexpected, Mark came out and gave Michael another $500!!!!
Thank you mystery Mark. Our running total is now: $5151.57

Scottish Tom McKenna
I was practicing on Monday night wearing a new outfit. To my embarassment the top was not as supportive as I would have liked and I was quite distracted the whole class by trying to stay in it!
Straight after class a gentleman walks up to me and says, "Can I have a word to you, Karen, upstairs?" For a few moments I thought he was going to have a few words with me about how outrageous my top was but I also thought perhpas I may have been exaggerating things and I was - Phew!
Tom took me aside and explained that he wanted to make a donation. He had some money that was owed to him that he had written off. However, the woman who owed it to him came through. He thought, "It's money I thought I didn't have", so he asked her to domate it to us. It is $1000!!
Now our running total is: $4151.57
