I am so looking forward to my trek in the Andes with Shawn Dawson and the Dream Mountain Group. I have listened to stories of friends’ trips, and never expected to be able to see Machu Picchu myself until this opportunity arose! I expect Machu Picchu to be a photographer’s paradise and that I will be coming home with lots of pics!

It is also a privilege to raise money for one of the charities with Dream Mountain. The Ottawa School Breakfast Program is certainly next to my heart as a dietitian! 11,300 children in 148 schools in all 4 boards in the Ottawa area are given a chance to make significant improvements in learning, school attendance, behaviour and self esteem when they can start their days with a healthy, nutritious breakfast. The number has grown from 1000 children in 25 schools in 1990 when the program started. Now, over 2 million breakfasts are served every year by the Ottawa School Breakfast Program, where schools, volunteers, community organizations and businesses come together to make the nutritional needs of children and youth a priority.

My priorities in the next several months are raising $5000 for the Ottawa School Breakfast Program, continuing my training, and deciding what camera I will bring along on the trip! Please consider helping me support the Ottawa School Breakfast Program with a generous donation!
Your support is greatly appreciated. Thank you
