Are you putting the FUN in FUNDRAISING? Host a Mow-a-thon!


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!
