Happy Sunday! I hope everyone had a great day, it sure was gorgeous out there! Came across this picture that a fellow MSer made.

One of the paddlers for “MS Paddles for a Cure”, Thomas, is doing his own Dress for MS again to raise funds for the dragon boat team in support of the Simcoe County Chapter of the MS Society.

Thomas will do a draw and mow the lawn of a winner within 100 km of Barrie -- in a dress no less! And he will bring his own lawn mower to your home. Winner will be drawn on August 22nd, 2015.

Tickets are 1 for $5 or 5 for $20.

The purchase of tickets can be made via Thomas’s link below. Click on his name for the donation and leave your phone number in the comments section.
