from Sudbury Run Co Director Manuela Vairo:

Thank you so much for your commitment to this year's CIBC Run for the Cure. It was a Huge success surpassing last year's totals!

Joining 170,000 in 55 communities in Canada - you helped to paint a huge pink ribbon across our nation and together raised over $28.5 million!

In Sudbury - With 1264 participants in attendance it was record breaking year with funds raised
of almost $234,000 and the money is still coming in today!

Without the support of our Sponsors, Committee and volunteers it would not have been possible.....
thank you for helping us get closer to a future without breast cancer.

Please mark your calendars for next year's Run on Sunday, Oct. 4th.

from Media Director Stephanie Deschenes:

There were so many inspiring stories that I'm not sure what to choose from! The kids at Churchill Public School raised an amazing $9,000 - they tripled their goal of $3,000. Their spirit and dedication brought tears to my eyes. The Dialysis Divas have been raising money since last October and Mach 8 - well, what can any of us say about that team??? Every year they shatter their own records. Since 2000, that team alone has raised more than a quarter of a million dollars! Their team captain, Myra Gerow, is an inspiration. A breast cancer survivor and fundraiser extraordinaire, she alone raised almost $10,000!

from Team Co Director Vince Perdue:

This event is primarily a fundraiser. Most people who participate walk or stroll around with friends or team members. That being said, we still like to reward a few of those who strive to get to the finish line as fast as possible. We provide awards for the the top 3 Males, the top 3 Females, the First Survivor, the First Youth Male and the First Youth Female. As the results show it was very competitive at the front end. Congratulations to all participants.

Our 24 participants walked, strolled, jogged and ran their way around the 5k course. And that was the easy part - the icing on the cake. The tough part was the fund raising and we were fully up to the task. Our Team raised $2665 at last count. That may just make a difference in somebody's life. Sheila and Vince

April McAllister, photo above, organized Team HORSEnAROUND for the first time last year. The team returned with renewed vigour this year as April was able to pull together over 100 participants for a Saturday ride in the Valley. As the photos show, a horse is definitely an asset if you wish to join this team. This year April and her riders successfully raised over $4400. Kudos to the Team.

Paul Washchuk and his son Sean traveled far to get this 30k in. Go east of Austria and you're in the right area. Budapest is in the upper middle of Hungary. The famous "Blue Danube" river flows through the middle of the city. I don't know what the water colour truly is, just quoting Strauss.
