Welcome to the Thirty Something Canucks Run for the Cure site!
We dedicate this site to the women and their families who have been touched by breast cancer.
Within our small online family, the Thirty-Something Canucks, two of our members have been affected by this illness on a very
personal level: our friend Juniper in Ontario, whose mother Norma was diagnosed as well as our friend Donna in Halifax, whose
sister Darlene has recently begun treatment.
There is always hope. No matter what happens, through support and love, we can survive anything.
In a gesture of support for Donna and Juniper and their families, we decided to form a national team for the CIBC/Canadian
Breast Cancer Foundation's "Run for the Cure." Despite the short timeline to get organized, we formed teams in four cities
and thanks to our generous sponsors, many of whom were fellow Canucks, we raised over $1200 in donations to help find a cure
for breast cancer. On October 2, 2005, 32 members of the national Thirty-Something Canucks team walked and ran in Collingwood
(Ontario), Edmonton, Halifax, and Ottawa. During the walk and afterwards we kept Donna and Darlene and Juniper and her mother
in our thoughts and prayers.
Please feel free to visit each run site page created by our members. These photos are a testimonial
to the difference that love and support can make. Please leave your comments and reflections on our thoughts page. It would
mean a lot to us to know that you visited. There is a link below to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation so that you may
continue to donate if you wish. Through dedication, caring, and faith we will one day make breast cancer history.
Thank you for stopping by!
