Call me crazy, but I have decided to participate in the 2017 B&O Yorkville 5K Run next Sunday, September 10th. I don’t usually sign up for 5K race distances, nor do I typically fund raise for my events, but I have decided to participate for two reasons:

1) I get to spend a Sunday morning with my friend Roz, who has promised to run alongside me every step of the way, no matter how slow (or fast!) I run.

2) This race allows me to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society. I like this charity as it supports all cancers across the spectrum.

The money raised from this event helps fund leading-edge cancer research that is improving cancer treatments, preventing cancer and saving lives, as well as offers vital community-based support services for people living with cancer and their families.

There is no obligation to sponsor me, but in the event that you would like to do so, I thank you in advance for your support!
