Oops. I dug a hole. A big hole. A hole worth $186,484.
I went to a fancy castle in Sydney, home to some swisho governor, and was appointed a benefactor of CCIA - the Children’s Cancer Institute of Australia. Australia is the first country in the world to make Precision Medicine available to all children with cancer. A huge milestone. But what about the next 2,000 kidlets? They matter too…so I doubled our existing commitment.
I can’t just pull masses of money out of thin air. We give the CCIA what children raise through our Crazy Sock Days and Five Cent Fridays and last year, we gave the CCIA $186,484. That’s what I promised to double, and I can’t break a promise to sick kids, so I’m hoping you’ll help me with this hole I dug?
My sister Connie was a kid with cancer. She had a Ewings Sarcoma at 11 years young. So I feel it’s only appropriate to launch this ‘Oops, I Dug A hole’ campaign on her birthday, today. I have shown through my long-distance unicycle ride (15,478kms over 364 days) that I don’t give up. I have shown to be a competent fundraiser and am delighted to have helped raise nearly $20M so far. My point? I will not stop until I dig myself out of this hole. Help me?
Keep digging Sam, you are doing an amazing job 🥰
