The Day I Ran for the Cure
This past Sunday (Sept. 30) I participated for a fifth year in the annual CIBC Run for the Cure to end breast cancer. I set a modest fundraising goal ($300) which I exceeded thanks to the generous donations of five people for a grand total of $503. I run to honor my mom — a cancer survivor — and all others who face this nasty disease.
Here are my Sunday tweets chronicling the day:
This morning, I participated in my 5th annual #RunFortheCure to end breast cancer. It was a chilly morning … but at least it wasn’t snowing! (1) pic.twitter.com/SBUtHQqVWL

Apart from the run itself, the free #McDonalds coffee was definitely a highlight. (2) pic.twitter.com/ejPBJpVf2g

Half-way through the run, I had to stop to take a selfie with my daughter, a race volunteer. You can tell that she’s like totally into getting a selfie with the old man. (4) pic.twitter.com/7lOEFw0ISS

Every year, my heart is warmed to see how many dogs run to end breast cancer. Man’s (and woman’s!) best friend, indeed. (5) pic.twitter.com/5Rc6lKpbZA

One more thing: calling the porta-potties “bathrooms” is going a bit overboard on the euphemistic language. (6) pic.twitter.com/OMEIgrCVTB
