axe throwing | Mama Cormier

Kevin and I met at the University of Guelph and every once in awhile we like to take a drive, visit family and check out new venues. This trip we decided to check out the axe throwing place, Axe Riot. We’ve only done axe throwing one other time in the east end of Toronto.

After a quick refresher lesson we spent close to an hour throwing axes at a wooden bull’s eye target. There are many benefits to axe throwing. It strengthens your core, arms, shoulders and back. It improves your concentration, patience and hand and eye coordination. Plus it’s fun to get out and play with people in a social setting. If you’ve never tried it I would recommend that you get a group of friends together and find a local axe throwing venue.

I don’t normally try to enlist people on this site to sponsor good causes but I wanted to ensure people who received emails from me or saw it on my FaceBook page that this is a legitimate cause. With all the spam on the internet I can understand if you thought that this might be a scam. Trust me it’s NOT.

‘Axe Cancer’ supports Camp Quality which is a camp for children with cancer. My son-in-law is Executive Director for Camp Quality in Canada and he constantly tries to find ways to raise money for these camps that are completely run by volunteers all across this country. Camp Quality also runs camps in the U.S.A. and Australia. Here is the link for Camp Quality in Ontario if you’re interested in knowing more about the organization, the history and the members who run it.

Next Sunday, my husband, daughter, son-in-law and I will be throwing axes as a team. I’ve never done anything like this in the past but I know some people who have and they love it.

If you can sponsor me, for any amount, no matter how small I would be very grateful and happy that another child with cancer will be able to attend this wonderful camp at no cost. The average price for a camp like this is about $1500 per child.

My initial goal was to raise $150.00 and I raised it to $250.00. Now I think I have to raise it again. To the seven people who have already sponsored me, thank you very much. If you’d like to make a donation here is the link for ‘Axe Canada’.
