Team Diabetes

Help me raise funds for Team Diabetes Bluenose 5K!  This year Breanna (10-year-old daughter) has decided she’d like to raise funds as well.  Breanna ran the Bluenose Youth run last year and has decided that this year she wants to run for the cause and enter the 5K event!  You can make a donation in support of this cause at the link below.  You can also read about my 2010 Bluenose 10K here!

I have once again joined Team Diabetes, a team of people from across Canada who will be crossing the finish line together and who have raised funds to support the more than 2 million Canadians living with diabetes. We will be on the course of the Bluenose Marathon 5K in Halifax, NS on 22 May 2011.

It takes dedication to be part of Team Diabetes, but we are committed to making a big difference in our lives, and in the fight against type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

One of the greatest contributions of the Canadian Diabetes Association is toward outstanding Canadian research. But that is not all the Association does – it runs camps for young people with diabetes and provides education and special services to people affected by diabetes in communities across Canada.

Please help me to support people like my sister, Dana, who was diagnosed Type 1 Diabetic at the age of 30 and suffers numerous health complications due to Diabetes.  You can read my sister’s story here:  Why I Run for Team Diabetes

As we run the course, you will be with us in spirit and your support will help us be strong all the way to the finish line. A donation for each kilometre is suggested, but whatever you can contribute matters – it all adds up!

Our goal is to raise a minimum of $350 each ($700) by mid-March and continue to raise additional funds until race day!
