Faith, Love, Hope 5k Run Against Domestic Violence

Hi readers;

WOW, it's been a LOOOOOOONG time since I've posted anything.  I guess a quick update is in order.  I half assed my training all summer, hey, it was summer.  SO when it came time to run my Rock n Roll Cleveland 1/2 marathon, I didn't do so well.  That and it was like 85 degrees and 98% humidity. Not something I am used to in the mountains of Alberta.

Nonetheless, I finished and it was good to finish.

Since then I have kind of taken a break.  I've done so much in my first 8 months of running, I was and am just worn out.  But something is motivating me to run again, VIRTUAL RACES.  They work the same way as real races, BUT I can run where and when I want, the distance I want and money still goes to charity and I get awesome bling.

This got me thinking.  I wanted to host a race.  Actually I am in the very beginning stages of organizing a REAL race here in Calgary, but I thought I would try a virtual one first and see how that went.  SO here I am, starting a virtual race.  I have a medal design, have a paypal button all set up, all i need are RUNNERS, people who have been through domestic violence and made it out, and for those people who might not have been so lucky.

This is my way of helping out all those amazingly STRONG women out there, and bringing to light something that seems to still be taboo to talk about.  I am donating the money raised to the Calgary Women's Shelter.  I know many of these women need help getting back on their feet.  I am beyond excited to see where this will go.  So far to date (04/26/14) $1500 has been raised.  THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your help and support.

Here is the link to register for my virtual race.  It will take you right to Paypal......
