Is there anything better than running around the streets of Calgary in your underwear??UAAB_Logo13_RGB_LoRes

Yes there is! It’s running around the streets of Calgary in your underwear for a GREAT CAUSE!

Once again, I’ve signed up for the 2014 Alberta Cancer Foundation’s Underwear Affair Booty Hunt race to help “Fight Cancers Below the Waist”. So let’s kick those cancers, such as prostate, ovarian and colon cancer, to the curb! The Booty Hunt race on June 7th is a scavenger hunt around the great city of Calgary. Last year, my team and I had to participate in many activities such as mastering yoga moves, getting our hair coloured, convincing strangers to take a jumping shot, and completing other random Amazing-Race-like tasks that had us sprinting to all ends of downtown. Oh how fun! 

Last year was Cookie Monster. What will this year be??

Last year, Cookie Monster was our theme, and so our team bought matching Cookie Monster underwear in solidarity. We were pumped and ready to win! Alas, we misread a task, which was a mistake that I’m convinced cost us first place.

This year will be different.

We will read the clues carefully.

We will prevail.

And we’ll be sporting a different set of matching underwear!… TBD.

To help support this great fight, a donation of any amount is appreciated. It’s for a great cause, and I get to run around in my underwear! It’s a win win.

Wait: Does that make me a “Do-gooder Exhibitionist”, as the website suggests?

Perhaps.

Totally rocking the challenges.

* Full disclosure: I won’t high-five any babies, nor will I ride any rainbow coloured unicorns. However, we’ll be one step closer in our fight against cancers below the waist, and that’s pretty darn awesome.
