There is a young fella from Drouin who is very ill,the poor bugger is 4 1/2yrs old and has a inoperable brain tumor.
His father who is the earthmoving game has had to give it up.So today about 51 trucks did a convoy to raise money to help his parents pay the medical bills and so on,if was all just word of mouth,it as an awesome sight to see.
The VVMC helped out with traffic control and did a BBQ aswell.Was great that a bunch of people most of who had given up loads or put back their trips interstate.Thet auctioned off a banner which One local trucking company owner payed $1000 just so he could hang it across his truck for the day.
Was truely and awesome thing to be apart of.

Can't agree more. I'm very fortunate to have 2 happy healthy girls.
Always a heart brake to see ill children and also donate to the charities.
Great thing you guys did and great community spirit. Thanks for sharing.
