The night before we left Reykjavik, Team Diabetes hosted a BETTER-THAN-DELICIOUS meal for us at a local restaurant. Fred DeFina - the director of Team Diabetes - congratulated us on all of our achievements and thanked each person individually for all of their efforts. Together, we raised almost $400,000 for the Canadian Diabetes Association and with that we can send close to 400 kids to camp!!! These statistics, along with a WONDERFUL speech by another delightful person, brought tears to my eyes. We really did make a difference. And something about this dinner made it feel tangible.
On that sappy note......LOOK AT THE FOOD WE WERE SERVED!!!!! IT WAS SO GOOD!!!!!! The lime risotto was my favourite part :)
Well - I think this concludes my Iceland posts! We'd like to thank EVERYONE who supported us during the past year. This journey wouldn't have been possible without every penny, smile, and word of encouragement that you gave to us :)
Speaking of pennies......SAVE THEM UP! We may be running with Team Diabetes again one day, haha.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yippee YAHOOOOO!!!!! I hope you do two!!! Xoxoxox
