Putting in sweat equity raises the bar for philanthropy, says Adrian DBԪַSilva. He suggests anyone give it a try after putting in hours of time, and a little cash, to restore a foursome of metal pedal cars to sell and donate the cash to the ChildrenBԪַs Health Foundation of Vancouver Island.
The four cars raised $3,100 and the attention of a Langford resident who donated a fifth car to the cause.

BԪַI picked up the car and the story just keeps getting better. This guy got the car for his second Christmas and his kids and grandkids and all kinds of relatives have driven it over the years,BԪַ DBԪַSilva said.
The station wagon, which is rare so should fetch a good price, was brand new in 1952.
