My Mission......To Care - Emily Wagstaff
Update
28 May 2018
So Emily has finally finished her campaign ‘my mission to care’ and has walked 36kms. This campaign is raising awareness and funds for Motor Neurone Disease (MND) which is a disease that is hereditary to my family. The 36kms represents the number of people in our area that have MND. Words can’t explain how grateful I am to my daughter Emily who has taken part in this campaign at such a young age as I am currently injured.
A massive thanks to all those wonderful people who helped Em walk her final kms after school today. Also to the many sponsors who have helped Em reach over and above all our donation expectations we had! We were happy just to reach $500 but to have raised over $1600 is just humbling - we are so extremely grateful to everyone who donated.
Another thank you to Briagolong Primary School for the continued support they have shown Emily. Today the entire school walked around the oval with Em for her last day. Also on a Tuesday and Thursday lunch time the school would encourage kids to walk laps with Em. This support is very much appreciated so thank you. Em was also very excited when the principal agreed to let her wear her MND shirt again to school today for her last walking day.
Thank you also to Emily’s best friend Rose. Rose rode her bike to and from school with Em and would quite often have to pedal very slow as Em’s legs couldn’t go as quick as the bike.
Thank you again xoxoxoxo

Emily was super excited to have her Aunty and Cousin come out for a walk around the redgums on Wednesday after school. Emily and Gracie had so much fun walking together and chatting the entire 3.2kms...
Thanks again so much Aunty Kel and Gracie

I am very happy to report Em is smashing both her targets with kms and funds!!! Em has now walked over 30kms and on Monday the 28th May I would like to invite anyone wishing to show additional support to Em please come and join her walk her remaining kms. Please meet at our house at 3.45pm, Em will be doing half a lap around the redgum reserve, so it will be an easy walk, roughly 2kms. Come dressed in blue for a gold coin donation! Em started with a target of raising $500 and after an overwhelming response and support we increased our target to $1000. As Ems campaign is drawing to an end I am hoping she might be able to raise a few extra dollars and reach $1500. Best of luck in your final days Em, you have been an amazing young girl during this campaign and I will be forever grateful.

Em would like to say a big Thank you to Briagolong and District Pony Club who have supported her in raising money for her walk. The Pony Club held a blue dress up rally to raise awareness and funds for MND. Members could give a gold coin for dressing up in blue and could also buy MND merchandise. Once again thank you to Briagolong and District Pony Club members for your support.

So yesterday I didn't count the miles Em walked whilst at her horse competition although today was extremely special. Ems uncle was visiting and offered to go for a walk with Em to get some more kms on the board. Ems Uncle was so proud of her and it was such a special moment to witness.
Another 2kms down bringing the total to 17kms

After day 4 Em is still covering the kms very well she has walked a total of 15kms so far. A big thank you to Ems school friend Rose for keeping Em company on her walks. It is also fantastic to see Ems school encouraging her and teachers offering to walk laps of the oval with her during lunch times.
Thank you again to each and everyone one of you for donating and supporting Em on her walk.

Day two and EM has covered 9kms
Even though Em walked to school today she still managed to run her little legs off in the school cross country. Em came home with a first place in the girls grade 2 cross country and she finished 3rd if you include the boys. Top effort Em.

I have a very exhausted little girl after day one of her walking.
She has set a very fast pace and has already covered over 5kms.
2kms to school, 5 laps of the school oval, and 2kms home from school.
Tomorrow EM will walk to school and she will also be competing in her school cross country and in the afternoon I might just have to drive her home!! She is very excited to be able to wear her MND shirt to school tomorrow.
