Post-Fundraiser - Monday, February 16, 2008

Thank you, thank you and thank you!!!!

We were completely overwhelmed Saturday night at the Milne Family Fundraiser. The incredible organization/planning of this event, the number of people in attendance, the level of volunteerism as well as the amount of items donated to the silent auction and balloon draw were absolutely amazing. We had no idea of the grandeur of this event and just want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone involved.

Scott was very disappointed to have to leave so early, but at this point, he is at the mercy of the Access Bus so this dictated the timing of his appearance.

As Claude mentioned, right now the Department of National Defence is covering most of Scott's costs, and will be assisting in home renovations as well. We are going to keep this money aside for items Scott will need that the military will not be able to cover. The fundraiser raised an incredible $30,000+, and that is thanks to ALL OF YOU :!:

Scott and I were both in tears on Sunday when we were discussing the event and we hope that you all enjoyed yourselves as much as we did.

Saying thank you cannot even begin to cover what we are feeling, but at this point it's all we can say.

I don't think you will ever realize how much you have touched our lives by your incredible support and generosity, but please know we truly appreciate it and are completely humbled by the support of all of you and the greater Kingston Community.

With sincere thanks,

Kirsty, Scott and the boys (aka Team Milne)

Here you will find regular updates on Scott's condition. Please feel free to leave your comments, thoughts, prayers and words of encouragement.
