News Flash - Dan Haley is Losing Weight!

Dan is a big man! Some have said that he is the size he is because he has such a big heart… He does have a big heart for sure. But he also tends to love his food and he is a GREAT COOK. Add to that the stress of an important job and you have a recipe for more pounds than he needs.

Recently Dan Haley began to work at shedding these extra pounds. His work outs begin at 6:30 AM and finish at 9:00 AM. His friends Fernand Samson has been a great encouragement.

Another motivation has been the need that his ministry, Peterborough Community Chaplaincy, has for support and encouragement as well. Together with his Board of Directors, I am asking you to consider supporting Dan’s effort to lose weight by sponsoring him for a few dollars per pound. His goal is lose a minimum of 30 pounds by September 2008.

If you would sponsor him for $10 a pound you would be receipted for $300 toward your Income Tax next year. $50 a pound would be another $1500 going into this vital ministry and so on. Together we could easily reach between $10,000 and $20,000 for Peterborough Community Chaplaincy.

You may be asking what Peterborough Community Chaplaincy is all about and why do they need support?

PCC as we know it – is a vital link between the Federal Prison system and the outside world. When a man is released from one of our prisons in Canada there is a period of transition that it vital for him to receive help. If he gets help – there is a 99% chance he will make it and there will not be anymore victims of crime…without it could and would be much worse.

PCC and Dan Haley provide that invaluable help and safety for each man.

Our hope and desire is to support PCC and also to see Dan come through this as a healthier Chaplain! After all it is Doctor Hardy Friesen’s orders… Thanks Doc for caring enough to offer Dan some tough love. We know that you are and will be proud of him – just like we are…

You go Dan! Go for at least 30 pounds and if you get more we will support you more!

Your friends,
Murray Lincoln and about a 1000 more people that believe in what you are doing!!!!
