#PrayForLydia Fundraiser @DQLaurelwood

Many in the Kitchener Waterloo area want to do something to support the Lydia Herrle and her loving Family.  #PrayForLydia has brought several people together, not only in our community but from other areas as well (in fact people around the world are praying for her recovery).  Many check the family blog daily to hear how Lydia is progressing, but still people want to do more.

Rob from Dairy Queen Laurelwood in Waterloo is doing just that.  Starting Canada Day & continuing all month you can buy a PAPER RIBBON FOR LYDIA for $1 and the funds will be donated to Lydia Herrle's family.
A HUGE thank-you goes to Trevor Cherewka of TikTokMedia #BRANTastic for creating the paper ribbons. 
Like I said the word about Lydia has spread beyond the KW area.  More & more people are getting involved everyday.

In addition Rob will also be having a MIRACLE TREAT DAY FOR LYDIA on July 26.  Stay tuned to https://www.facebook.com/#!/events/433678946665580/


To find out more about the event.

In the meantime please stop by Dairy Queen in the Laurelwood Commons and purchase a Paper Ribbon for $1





 People like Rob make KW live up to the hashtag #KWawesome

You can see Rob speaking about the fundraiser at the 9:55 min mark of this video
