“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams” –Eleanor Roosevelt
My good friend Ailie Jenkins told me about her fellow Aussie friend Seb’s 100 Things website and charity. I was truly inspired, and wanted to make my own “bucket list” of things I want to do in my life. Our time on the earth is precious and short, so we should be making the most of it, no doubt! I also love that Seb is doing this for such a wonderful charity. He is trying to raise $100 for each item he checks off his bucket list. The proceeds will go to Camp Quality, which is an organization that brings optimism and happiness to the lives of children and families affected with cancer through fun therapy. If you would like to donate, please click here:http://www.campquality.org.au/public/home.aspx. You can also view Seb’s website here: www.100things.com.au.
I plan to blog each time I complete an item on my bucket list! So get excited for some great freakin’ adventures! And maybe you will be inspired to create a list of your own!
Love,
Gina
