CBCF Run for the Cure!




On October 4th, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation held their official RUN for the CURE at various locations across Canada. Here in Victoria, BC, it was held at UVic. The 5km or 1km run, walk, or stroll began with a high impact workout for the participants to get the blood burning! The run (well, we personally were in the strollers category ~ just to make sure we didn't miss anything :) was high energy with a local Marimba Band playing and lots of people dressed up in pink outfits! Melissa and I were sporting the Love Your Breasts t-shirts of course, and with all the outrageous costumes people were wearing, we fit right in!


British Columbia's Run sites boast 23,000 participants contributing a provincial total of $3.2 million raised! Across Canada, 170,000 participants at more than 56 RUN sites raised a total of $26.5 MILLION!!! Now that's a pretty penny!
