Admission to the party was 100 pennies to represent the 100lbs I have lost. I weighed out the pennies I received, and it is 15lbs!
At the party I thanked everyone for their support and also donated $100 to Girls Night Out in Faro. The money will go towards boosting self-image in teenage girls.
So all of this got me thinking about a neat way to show the weight I have lost. I am asking for pennies! Please send me your pennies! If you live close enough, I will trade you for some baked goods. I am going to try and round up 150lbs of pennies for when I hit my 150lbs goal. That goal should be reached late next spring since I am only 49lbs away.
It looks like it will take about $183 worth of pennies to make 150lbs. And I will donate all of those pennies to Girls Night Out. How can you resist helping money go to a good cause?

I will totally save and amass our pennies for you!! Do you know when they will be going out of currency?
I believe they will be accepted indefinitely as currency, but they will not longer be given out sometime this year.
Thanks for saving them for me!
I have a $5 Cdn bill and two US dollars I'll send to you. That's 700 pennies towards your goal. Just tell me where I need to send the bills!
Hi Kara
So sorry I missed your party! Whitehorse wiped me out!
I have some pennies for you and will bring whatever I can find. Keep on inspiring us all!
