I'm at it AGAIN..... new virtual run woot woot

Hi guys;

I have to update everyone with the success of Faith, Love, Hope 5k run against Domestic Violence.  I have ordered my SECOND batch of kick ass medals, and We have raised so far $1250 for women at Calgary Women's Emergency Shelter.  I couldn't be more THRILLED....

With the success of that run, it had me wondering about more.  A trail run.  Something I haven't seen before in the Facebook groups I belong to.  I wanted to try something different.  AND viola, Happy Trails 5k, 10k, 13.1 Virtual Trail Run was born.  The proceeds are going to Tree Canada http://treecanada.ca/en/ and for every $4 raised they will plant a seedling in Canada.  How AWESOME is that?

I guess I just want to help and give back and this is the ONLY way I know how.  By starting a run, and having a bunch of people I don't know come together for a good cause, and give back.  It's BEYOND motivating for me and my running as well.

The run is being sponsored by RoadID.  Bibs, some gift certificates for giveaways and information.  Nalgene has also agreed to send stickers and a couple bottles for giveaways, and Trail Runner Magazine is sending 2 certificates for a ONE YEAR subscription for giveaways.  I am also waiting to hear from other companies as well.  I'm beyond excited.

Here's the link to Paypal for the race:

I can't wait to see the medal proof (once I get medal proof I will publish it)

I just REALLY want to say thank you to EVERYONE who helped and are continuing to to help make Faith, Love, Hope 5k Run Against Domestic Violence the success that it is.  So many women have shared their stories with me, and on the group and it's so inspiring to see.  I only hope that this run will be just as successful.



Keep Calm, and Run On
