Run for the Cure Update

Hello, runners and walkers! So far, we have 17 people signed up for "Brandy's Babes" on September 30th! How freakin' awesome is that? If you want to join us and want an official CIBC team t-shirt, you have until Friday to register. If you register after Friday, your shirt won't say "Brandy's Babes" on it, and then you'll feel left out and uncool.

So I'm scheduling a practice walk/run for this Sunday, Sept. 16th, meeting outside BC Place. Here's the route map that I stole from the CIBC website:



We're meeting at BC Place--looks like the corner of Abbott and Pacific--at 1pm and go from there.

Info on team kit pick-up (this is your shirt, your time chip, etc.):

Date: September 27 & 28 
Time: 8:00 AM - 7:00 PM 
Location: BC Place, 777 Pacific Blvd (Enter at East Airlock street level off of Griffith Way)

Hopefully, it will be sunny on Sunday. If not, we're still walking, maybe just not as far! :D So mark your calendars. And also say yay! because we've far surpassed the humble fundraising goal I set of $250. So far, you've all raised over $1,000! Bravo!

So anyway, if you'd like to do a practice run/walk, see you on Sunday! If not, see you on race day! Our pre- and post-race meeting places are TBA, but I'll let you know closer to the date.

Brandy's Babes!

In case you didn't see the link on the righthand side, or read about the amazing Victoria Namkung putting together a team for the OC Race for the Cure called "Brandy's Babes," I'm flat out doing semi-self-promotion for it now, in a separate blog post. The race is a fundraiser for the Susan Komen organization, which is an amazing organization for breast cancer awareness, resources, education, and research. It's a 5K which the team is planning on walking, so if you are in the Socal area, sign up to be part of the team! If you're not in the area, you can still help by making donations--no donation is too small--on the website! If you can't make a donation, your thoughts are appreciated too!

Love,
Brandy
