Run For The Cure

In a previous blog, I wrote about my buddy Barb and her scrapbooking talents and her creative eye in photography. While her creativity is amazing, the project she has embarked on over the last week is testament to her determination and strength. Barb decided to participate in the CIBC Run For The Cure and set her goal for pledges at $300. The woman who, not even a year ago, was striken down by H1N1 and could hardly get a breath in or out, is going to walk in a marathon! Barb sent the word out to her friends and acquaitances, and by the second day she had surpassed her goal of $300, so she raised it - again and again and again. Today, her pledges are over $1,500. Friends showed Barb their loyalty, admiration and - well, disbelief - by donating to her cause. It is, after all, a cause that touches each and every one of us. As well, how could we not donate to our friend who's lungs were battered and bruised a few short months ago, was on oxygen for weeks, and yet insists on taking part in a marathon? If you wish to donate to the Run For The Cure, which will take place on October 3, this is the link to Barb's donation page: https://secure3.convio.net/cbcf/site/Donation2?idb=1027136456&df_id=1302&FR_ID=1107&PROXY_ID=1474673&PROXY_TYPE=20&1302.donation=form1 Supporting a friend AND a great cause . . . it's a good thing!
