Run for the Cure 2013

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAIt’s been several years since I’ve done the Run for the Cure. Actually, I believe the last time I did the run was before I left Ontario to head west! So it was great to be able to participate in the CIBC 5K Run for the Cure with my family this year. Ry decided to sign us up for the picturesque Mississauga location, which included a start at the UofT Mississauga campus. Despite the rain and gloomy clouds, the vibe was really positive and energetic. After all, this is a run to end breast cancer. So many supporters and participants came out for their sisters, daughters, mothers, grandmothers, friends, and colleagues. It’s also inspiring to see survivors and those tackling breast cancer each day. This year, over $27 million was raised nationally for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation- wow. It was also great to spend time with my brothers and mum. With me being in Calgary, quality face-to-face time is few and too far between…
