Want to get your family involved this weekend to help meet your MS Bike pledge goal? Why not host a Mow-a-thon?! Ask your neighbors if you can mow their lawn for $50. Remind them that it will be going to a good cause! This warm weather and rain is making the grass grow, so we’re sure your neighbours would love a break from cutting their lawn!
Please keep these lawn mower safety tips in mind:
- Before starting, walk around the lawn and thoroughly inspect the area
- Remove stones, sticks, toys and other debris that could be tripped over or picked up by the blade
- Cautiously inspect the lawn mower – look for damaged or missing parts and make adjustments or repairs before you begin
- Plan your mowing pattern! Avoid sidewalks, bystanders or any obstacles
- Wear closed-toed shoes
- Do not hold on to the lawn mower if you fall
- Never pull the mower back towards you while moving
- Make sure you are well balanced
Good luck! Be sure to send us a picture of you hard at work on Facebook or Twitter!
