Walk for the cure team wanted! (Calgary)
 
Hi all,

I am going to be signing up for the weekend to end breast cancer, a charity walk in Calgary.

The challenge is pretty big! 60 kilometers over 2 days on July 25 & 26, raising $2000 (hopefully more!) for a charity which is devoted to finding a cure for breat cancer, and other cancers.

So, my bright idea last night, was to ask you ladies and gents in Calgary if you would like to form a team? We could obviously raise a hell of a lot more money than just me on my own. Besides, I don't really want to do it on my own...it would be more fun in a group!

Have a look at the endcancer website, have a think about it, and let me know if you would be upfor the challenge!

Nicky

p.s. I am by no means fit...lol...just your average Mum of two looking who walked her first 5km yesterday and is very stiff today! :eek:

I see someone has put an advert for the event below my message...nothing to do with me! But it's the link for last year. This year the site is www.endcancer.ca.

Good idea, but am already in a team - Save Our Boobs! Unfortunately not too sure now whether I will be able to do the walk for various reasons, one is a dodgy knee damaged back in November which just doesnt want to get better. Best of luck to you. Quite daunting having to raise $2000 when you know so few people over here ehh!!

I hope your knee gets better soon and you can do the walk!

It is a bit daunting to raise that kind of money, but I have lots of ideas...and pals who are willing to donate!

I've met a few of the Calgary expats, it would be great to recruit a few as you are all such loverly ladies...and men :wub:

No-one up for the challenge yet though :unsure:

Nicky
