The Little Give Toronto

TEAM SKIPPING ROPE Blog Post #5 - Down To The Wire

A not-so-secret fact about me: I’m the crazy plant lady who hovers over her balcony garden and keeps an eleven-year-old beast of a Christmas cactus.  Really, it’s like a sickness.  And so when it was announced that my team for the Little Give would be paired with the Green Thumbs Growing Kids initiative, I was pretty stoked, to say the least.

Now, coming down to the last six hours of the Little Give 2011, we’re finding ourselves still pretty busy tying up loose ends and readying our (winning) presentation, but we know we’re going in the right direction.  After getting Laura’s fantastic wrapup email around midnight last night (without even being aware that Cam was still working away in the office, and would be there until 3:30 AM!), it’s pretty clear to me that not only did we have an awesome nonprofit initiative to work with, but an awesome team in general.  The combined powers (and spectacular resources) of Team Skipping Rope really came together to create something amazing for Green Thumbs Growing Kids.

How amazing, you ask?  You’ll find out this afternoon when we present our results to everyone (and win the coveted Little Give trophy!).  See you at Labatt!
