Last night my girlfriend experienced the power of Steemit. She is incredibly grateful.
I posted last week, explaining that my girlfriend, Shereen, is participating in The Ride to Conquer Cancer. The 200-km ride takes place over two days; it is a cycling journey/fundraiser that aims to create hope for those who have been impacted by cancer.
In the post, I explained that all rewards earned would go toward helping Shereen earn her fundraising goal of $2,500 CAD. Thanks to your support, she has come much closer to reaching that target!
The author rewards from my Steemit post were valued at $325.85 USD.
This roughly works out to a value of $430 CAD. As soon as the payout was confirmed to my Steemit account, I sent the donation to Shereen's fundraising page, and signed the donation courtesy of the "Steemit Community."
