So yesterday Greg and I participated in Motionball the Marathon of Sport which was a fundraiser for the Special Olympics. There was a team of 9 of us and we were paired with a Special Olympian. We competed in 6 events which included ultimate frisbee, basketball, beach volleyball, badminton, soccer, and bocce. The event was held at the EA Sports complex in Burnaby and it was an amazing place. In our next lives Greg and I vow to be computer geeks so we can work there and take advantage of all the perks they have! We had a great day and it was for an even greater cause. As a team we were able to fundraise almost $4000. Which left us in 4th place for fundraising. Not bad for our first year at the event. Next year we're looking to raise close to $10000. Anyway, here are some pictures from the event (mostly of the kids because Greg and I were playing in all the events).
Here's a team shot....almost! We were named Team Meatballs (my brother came up with the name) and fittingly we had brown shirts on. Anyway, our team consisted of (from left to right) Kyle (my brother), Cam, Cody (back), Mike (front), Mica, Shelly, Greg, and in the front row with the hat on JoJo our Special Olympian. I hope she had a great time because we had fun with her.
Here ar our four cheerleaders. From left, Maya, Isaiah, Noah, and Madeline. Maya and Madeline are sisters and live on the street behind us. Hopefully Noah and Madeline will be in the same kindergarten class next year. They had a great time cheering us on and playing with us.
Here's an action shot of Greg playing some Beach Volleyball....nice bump dear!
Noah playing in the sand while we play some volleyball.
Finally here's Isaiah climbing the fence at the basketball court. Don't worry he didn't fall here..... instead he fell later in the day at the soccer field where he scratched his forehead, nose, chin, and cut his lip pretty bad. It was so bad we had to make a trip to the First Aid Tent. Good thing he's a tough guy! All in all it was a fabulous day. We had such a great time. Greg and I even got to play some doubles badminton and bocce together....FUN! It was so much fun we're going to do it again next year!
