And that's a wrap! Another sausage sizzle done and dusted. Big thanks to Bruce Dodd, Andrew Rowe, Mike Fitzgerald and Lisa our fieldworker for helping out on the day. We raised $733.63 after expenses. Most importantly, we had some great chats with the public, raising awareness of muscular dystrophy.
My apologies to Bruce and Andrew, I forgot to take the photo while you were there. This is us at pack up time after a full day on our feet. Tiring but rewarding.
Thanks to everyone who supported us.
Vivienne.
