Autism Coffee Chat – Sudbury Ontario with Trish Kitching welcomed Jonathan Howard And Terry Robinson(Two-Time Para-Olympian) for the "Run the Dream" for Autism at Brady Square this Wednesday at 12:00 pm. Numerous speakers including the Deputy Mayor and a singer from Manitowaning pledged their support to the cause and the 2 athletes.

We were honoured to pace the 2 for the 10k stretch from 69 south to City Hall with full police escort. The group commenced with about 15 runners and about 15 more came onboard at Science North for the home stretch. Thank you all for participating especially Paul Washchuk, Christine Delahunty, Paul Pressacco, Leila Kurkimaki, Drew Anderson, Laura Anderson and Emily Anderson.

Run The Dream is a coast-to-coast solo run across Canada by Jonathan Howard, a 24 year old resident of Mississauga, Ontario to raise awareness about Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and a targeted $2.5 million, in support of charities that work to assist children with ASD and their families. Jonathan started his run in St. John’s, Newfoundland on March 25, 2008 and will finish in Victoria, British Columbia in December 2008. In this time span, Jonathan will run approximately 8,500 kilometres, and visit more than 650 communities in 10 provinces. Sudbury is very close to the half way point for Jonathan. Terry Robinson joined on in Ottawa ans will stay with Jonathan across Ontario until Winnipeg Manitoba.

Jonathan is proud to dedicate his run, and his efforts to raising awareness and charitable donations to support the people who dedicate their lives turning the dreams of children with ASD, and their families, into miracles and abilities.

Rocks!! Run the E.T. Challenge

August 10, 2008 Moonbeam ON

Rocks!! member Suzanne Dionne and her nephew Eric Dionne traveled north to their home turf on Sunday to take part in Moonbeam's E.T Tri and 1/2 Marathon. The Tri course was a 750m swim, a 25k bike and a 5k run. The swim was shortened this year due to weather.

Suzanne reports: Eric won the triathlon and his time was 1.19. including 25km bike, 5km run and only half of the swim that was planned.
I did my half in 2.08.32. I'm very happy with this and feel great today. They were only 7 of us and I came in 4th. The winner - 2.01. It was quite windy but we had great shelter on the trails. Up -hill start but what goes up must come down.
Great prizes. Started on time. Very well spaced for volunteers and liquids.
Loved having the bikes coming the same way as us.
