I Ran for the Cure

Today was the big day! I bundled up early in the morning, stretched and headed to U of T campus for the annual Run for the Cure. Man it was cold! But that didn't stop thousands of people from coming out to participate. It was a huge success, my run was a success. I finished the five kilometers in a little under 30 minutes and raised $375. Thank you all for the generous support.



I ran to celebrate two of my breast cancer survivor friends and to be side by side with the others who fervently hope that we soon find the cure. This is one bandwagon I'd like to jump into and I thank you for taking the ride with me through your support. Let's do this again next year!


Here are some photos:


Double D is not for the cup size but for Dory and Doris. Big cheers for winning the fight against the big C.

Juvinile Diabetes Research Foundation Walk

My favourite photo subject are children - I don't think you'll ever get bad photos of kids. It doesn't matter if they're crying, hair is messy, clothes are dirty, they're looking to a distance.

That's why when my friend volunteered me to take photos at the annual Juvinile Diabetes Research Foundation Walk, I was thrilled. I'll be doing what I love doing and helping a worthy cause.

Sunday, June 14 turned out to be a very beautiful day. Lots of sunshine and a beautiful blue sky. A perfect weather to do a 5 kilometer walk.
Volunteers gathered very early at the Streetsville Memorial Park in Mississauga to prepare in welcoming thousands of participants.

An estimated 3,000 people of all ages came to raise funds for Juvinile Diabetes Research Foundation.




It really didn't matter who you are walking for.
Every one walked towards one goal - eliminate Juvinile Diabetes...


... and continue seeing these happy faces.
