Running a gym for the past 14 years means annual "nutrition challenges" to help clients clean up their eating habits after the Christmas and Summer holidays. This is very important as we tend to DRIFT away from our goals without regularly scheduled re-sets throughout the year. Inevitably we will be eating too much, too often, and the wrong things.
Often times, we need to EAT LESS to maintain our health. While at the same time there are people in Cambridge who do not have enough food to eat. This contrast is upsetting, but is a reality of life.
So what can we DO about it??
We can pool our resources to help people in our own hometown! Financial donations to the Food Bank multiply to produce even more that just the gift. Every dollar donated to the foodbank can multiply to provide multiple meals.
This will be our 14th year doing a fundraiser for the Cambridge Food Bank and this is a tradition that I plan to continue for the future. As our city grows so does the need.
A few weeks ago while I was thinking about this fundraiser, my Pastor told me that "Every act of compassion is an act of worship to God." He referenced Matthew 25:40 which says, "The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." So let's join together to help our brothers and sisters in Cambridge.
We are setting a goal to raise $10,000 for the Cambridge Food Bank this Christmas. Jaclyn and I are going to donate $6000 to get things started. SO ... that leaves only $4000 more dollars to hit our goal!
Would you join with us to donate? Every gift counts and will help people in need this Christmas.
Simply stop by the clinic/gym to make a donation this week (we have the tax gift receipts here to fill out), or go online to https://cambridgefoodbank.org/donate-funds/ and let us know you did so we can calculate the total!
Let's all give back to the city we live and work in this Christmas.
HOHOHO,
Eric
