Today Team Malcolm ran in the Terry Fox Run. Friends Jen and Lauryn joined us and Grama and Grampa Rainey were there to cheer us on. Donovan and I ran one loop (3.3 km) with Lauryn, Jen ran two loops and Jan and Malcolm walked a couple of kilometers. Donovan ran almost the whole loop - what energy! Lauryn and I were almost outdone by a six year old. It is a fun event with fresh waffles and other goodies to eat after - what a welcome treat.
We raised over $1,400! Many thanks to those who donated online, by cheque or cash. We were very pleased that so many of our family and friends decided to give a little extra to cancer research this year. We hope to keep doing the event and to raise at least $1,000 each year for ten years - so that we can help contribute at least $10,000 to the cause. Thank you all for being a part of that and stay tuned for next year!
