Us: Deep in Love Loving Gparents of 14 Founders - Upright Canine Brigade for special needs dogs with 21,000 families Shavers for St Baldrick
We would like to thank you for supporting Bob and Donna Challender in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
Oh my goodness that's a good one. I'll give you the abbreviated story! Bob and I met on an on-line dating program. We were both divorced. Both had children and both taking care of our parents. What I didn't know was we had actually met before. We managed to send each other private emails outside of the dating site. He sent me a picture of himself and his good friend. When I saw it I immediately recognized his friend. It was my daughter's gym coach and he was the nice guy that worked at the desk!
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our wedding. It was absolutely perfect. We had our whole families there plus our good friends. My oldest daughter was my matron of honor and my 15 month old Granddaughter was the flower girl. Bob had his son as his best man. The ceremony was a beautiful church service. At our reception we all danced until they kicked us out! Everyone had so much fun. It was the start of our blended family.
What would you do with $20,000?Bob and I are passionate about two non-profits. We have both participated in St. Baldricks Foundation shaving our heads for childhood cancer research. Bob has shaved for 23 yrs and has raised thousands of dollars over the yrs. I shaved twice so far. The Upright Canine Brigade Inc. is an awareness and support group for Canine Megaesophagus. We founded this 14 yrs ago. We help rescues & shelters with ME dogs & cats. We raise money for research. We will donate the full amount to these 2 charities
