Discovered an amazing wheelchair travel agent Bill at "Travability" and have started investigating the possibility of taking Ryan on a dream holiday. Bill suggested being based in Orlando and spending time at Disneyworld, Lego land,Kennedy space centre,Universal studios,Orlando aquarium and going on those hovercrafty boats on the everglades in Miami.
Sounds amazing - BUT to do this would cost $20000, so I am asking for expressions of interest in helping me organise a fundraising committee. You won't be tied down, just enquiring as who could assist at this stage - I organised a dinner dance to fund Ryans bathroom renovations in 2010 and we raised nearly $6000 so I'm hoping that with some help we can do better.
Ryan is a cheeky 11 year old boy with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Jane, his proud mum, would like to share the families journey in creating a fabulous life for Ryan in the short time they have him.
Jane, we ran a golf day back in September last year, which raised $70K for James. All donations went through MDQLD, and they took 5% of donations to put towards their own cause. The rest sits in an account and we use it as we need it. We paid for James's trip to NZ, with his dad and granddad, out of that money. All donations were tax deductible and that seemed to make people more interested in parting with their money. If you are interested to hear how the golf day was organised, let me know and I'll get some info off Julian. xxxxx
