A month ago I committed to do the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure. The 5km run just happens to be on my birthday, September 30, so I turned the run into my birthday party.
With less than two weeks to go, eighteen of my friends have joined my team. Here's who is coming to the party with running shoes, so to speak.
A-type competitive design blogger Sarah Gunn is treating this run like a race.
Jen Charron, Kat Inokai, Julie Green and Deborah Coombs aren't committing to speed, only to enjoying the journey and crossing the finish line.
Sharon DeVellis and Lisa Thornbury are bringing their sons to the CIBC Run for the Cure.
In surprising news, husband and wife team Gav and Ali Martell thought they would have to run for HIS breast cancer.
Kat Armstrong is a SERIOUS runner, but is healing from a pulled groin injury. Kat's day job is with the Canadian Cancer Society and was the first on our team to reach her fundraising goal. File that under A for Awesome!!
Kelli Williams has raised $250 so far, leading the pack in dollars.
Nance Williams is also running with us.
My nutrtionist, work out buddy and owner of Zen Beginnings Marina Zelenovic has signed up. We're still waiting for our über fit friends Lesley, who teaches cardio yoga, and Chris, aka @SpiderMom1, to join us.
Katja and Laura Wulfers are sisters, and I think they are both training to kick some butt in this run.
Cassandra Sadek, my book loving buddy from Random House, is taking this run seriously. I can't wait to watch her in action!!
And the party doesn't end there.
Eileen Fisher has organized a #TeamYMC run in Abbotsford that you can join!
Dr. Kim Foster is the captain of #TeamYMC in Victoria!
And Sarah Remmer has assembled a great #TeamYMC in Calgary!
One in nine women in Toronto, Ontario and across Canada are expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lives and funds raised by the Foundation go towards innovative research, education and awareness.
If you aren't able to join our team, in lieu of the birthday gift I know you were planning on buying me, I would LOVE if you would donate to our team.
Thank you on behalf of the estimated 22,700 women in Canada who will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year.
