"Cause I Can" Judith Cantor's fundraising projects

Through the vineyards we did wander

Yesterday, @_SherylCole of www.twospoonfulsofsugar.com and I took part in the 6.25km Winery Running Festival put on by Lawlers in support of Camp Quality. We left the CBD at around 7.30am and took a leisurely drive to Pokolbin in the Hunter Valley. Although, with the intermittent heavy fog patches, it wasn't as stress-free as you might have thought!

By the time we got there it was a beautiful but brisk day filled with sunshine and there were lots of smiling faces everywhere - especially those of the of the Camp Quality crew!

The marathon and half-marathon participants had already started so we waited for our event together with a crowd of super-fit runners who had already finished the race, children and families who were going to run/walk the 2.5km route just before ours, spectators and volunteers. I'm sure there were many there who had directly benefited from Camp Quality's great work!

The Wander route itself was a lovely blend of Hunter Valley Gardens behind-the-scenes views and vineyard tramping. It was just so lovely to be in the country!

I came 441st and Sheryl came 425th (because she just couldn't manage to do the whole track without a wee jog) - both in just over an hour. A really lovely Sunday stroll.

We finished it off with indulging in some chocolate: lime-infused and honeycomb. Oh yes, and moscato tasting! I can highly recommend the Audrey Wilkinson Winemakers Selection 2010.

Although the Winery Wander is now over, my fundraising page is active for another 60 days. No doubt Camp Quality would truly appreciate any support you can give them: www.mycause.com.au/WanderthroughthewineriesforCampQuality

Thank you so much to everyone who sent their good wishes, helped with spreading the word via social media and more traditional means, that is their mouths.

Until next time.
