Every gift makes a difference.  Everyone has a role to play.  Give today to be a leader in shaping the future of your community.

Gael Thomson's Story
Please join me in the fundraising effort for the Everett Family YMCA. 

If you know me then you understand how much the YMCA has impacted my life and how the money raised in this fundraiser actually changes lives around me every day.  I am honored to work with people from all walks of life, and able to guide them on their path of wellbeing. 

The programs that directly affect me are Livestong at the YMCA - we need to raise $10,000 to run this program - and ACT! Actively Changing Together - also need $10,000.  With these programs I have the opportunity to guide families and youth dealing with chronic disease, specifically Obesity and Cancer.  The impact on the lives of past participants is phenomenal.  See for yourself by clicking on this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGCzGtlICow&feature=share&list=UUV2229lMePnUyEn8tf6PFBg

Please join me by donating what you can so I can reach my goal of $20,000.  This is no small task but neither is changing lives and bringing life back into those that possibly gave up. Note: the $ is worth 1 1/2 times the pound so its like you gave much much more!
