This past Sunday 1,000 runners/walkers participated in the local event for the CIBC Run For The Cure. A team of us from Royal LePage Collingwood participated and in terms of money raised, our team placed in the top 10 Teams helping the local run generate almost $178,000 in donations, not bad for a smaller community. Our office has and continues to experience the impact Cancer has. In the past year we've lost a good colleague and more recently another member of our office has had a brush with breast cancer while yet another has a spouse now undergoing treatment for the same.
The weather conditions for this year's run couldn't have been better. Event organizers had a 5km route that was well thought out taking full advantage of the town's trail system with minimal road contact. After not have run any significant distance in years and with a worn knee, I was pleased to have run the entire distance and I will look forward to next year's event. A special thank you to those that donated to my efforts personally as well as those that made a donation to other members of the Royal LePage Collingwood team.
