A $50,000 photo finish

On June 23, 2011 at a Winnipeg press conference, Frank and Agnes DeFehr presented Arvid with a $50,000 UNSIGNED cheque.  If Arvid arrived in Halifax in record time, the DeFehrs promised to fly to Halifax to sign the cheque in support of Mully Childrens Family.   Here’s the photo finish after the cheque was signed at Halifax City Hall.  If you think it through, there’s no way the DeFehrs could have been at the finish line in time to sign the cheque unless they booked flights and flew into Halifax early.  That’s some confidence they had!  These aren’t the only smiling faces today, to get the real picture you’ll need to add a couple thousand faces of Kenyan children.

Arvid's Role

God has called me (Arvid) to be an ambassador for Mully Children's Family. I have chosen to use ultramarathon cycling as my platform from which to fulfill this calling. You can follow my ride, here, at www.grandpascan.com/ride. To read more about me and my story, click here.
