Love Hangover

Wow!hohoto

Seriously, WOW!

I’m sore, tired, hoarse. My feet ache, my head aches, my back aches, and I’m overflowing with happiness!

Last night, we raised over $48,000 for the Daily Bread Food Bank at HoHoTO!

$48,424!

We raised it with ticket sales and sponsors. We raised it with raffles and photos. We raised it with twitter auctions for tickets that had already been sold.

We raised it with the most amazing community of people!

So thank you Toronto for giving this girl a Love Hangover. I’m honoured and delighted to be a part of this community who sees a need and steps up to fill it.

I’m lucky to be a part of an amazing group of people who beg, borrow and bat their big browns to get sponsors, venues, prizes, and volunteers to help make HoHoTO the event that it is.

And I am blown away by how amazing it feels to wake up this morning and realize we did it. Not just the $40K target, but 20% better!  And that’s not counting the food that everyone brought to donate!

Thank you all for giving me this amazing gift.

    So… I’ve had my coffee… (unfortunately not the kick-ass coffee I won in the raffle gift basket from RocketFuelCoffee.com because my grinder is broken…) but I digress. I’ve had my coffee. My 10am call is actually 10am Vancouver time (yay!) and now I can…
