The Matching Genes Fundraiser v2
WE ARE BACK AT IT AGAIN
Wow, time flies. Can’t believe we’re already turning 22.
We were blown away by the support of last year’s birthday fundraiser and thought it would be cool if we make this an annual tradition!
This time, we will be streaming the event on TWITCH ! All donations will go to the Living Wish Foundation .
-----------------
It’s impossible to read the papers without feeling sad lately. Finding a hopeful news story is like finding a needle in a haystack.
This year, we wanted to support an organization that literally provides hope for people who feel like they are hopeless.
The Living Wish Foundation is a charity that is dedicated to supporting the end-of-life wishes of palliative care patients.
Once receiving a terminal diagnosis, often patients lose hope. Sometimes, fulfilling a simple wish is all it takes for a patient to reframe hope and improve their quality of life before their death.
Sometimes wishes are so simple, all it takes is a group of people motivated enough to make it happen. Check out their website to read some of their heartwarming stories. Max’s favourite story is when the Foundation granted Walter’s wish of a tub of Rum and Raisin ice cream (even when the flavour was discontinued a decade ago). Michael found it touching that Paul's wish was simply to go outside with his family to enjoy the sun.
--------------------
This year, let’s have a bigger prize, a bigger goal, and bigger stakes!
You can only find out if you are identical or fraternal once. So how about this. If we hit $2222, we will shave our heads live on stream. Why? Because we aren’t creative and it’ll be funny.
