Lakeway/Lake Travis Rotary /Shelterbox

Way to go Team we did it. The race is finished but not the mission. Our original goal was to raise enough money to house 10 people after a disaster with Shelterbox kits. We currently have pledges to house 30 people with Shelterbox's kits. So why isn't the mission finished? I think no I know that we have more in us!

I hate to keep moving the finishing line further away but when you signed up for the Marathon des Sables you knew it was going to be longer than imagined. Yet I was so very surprised and humbled by a  generous $1500.00 donation from the Lakeway/Lake Travis Rotary Foundation. I thought we have more in us so I would like to see us get 40 people maybe 50 people sheltered from our efforts. Note we will never meet the people that will benefit from our effort.  The lesson of Karma is strong. Please note just during the short period we were running the MDS Shelterbox deployed to Fiji, Western China, Uganda, and Mexico. Shelter box gives to those who have nothing but the clothes on their back. One day their live is good the next they have nothing. It is very humbling when a 6 year old boy gives up his ice cream money to our cause. Thanks Brogan! Also a sincere thanks to all to those who have given not only money but more so spiritually. I am humbled by it all.
