Terry Fox
Today I went to the school to run with the kids for the Terry Fox run.
This year I couldn't make it to the melanoma run for Lisa, and just weeks ago I found out that a second colleague from GGOF (BMO) passed this month while we were away on our camping trip. Marta was so sweet and had been battling cancer for many years, yet she always insisted on going to work regardless of what she was going through. I had the pleasure of working with her and I have always been so impressed with her dedication to the company, and her overall desire to help everyone. She would bring a smile to my face during all conversations. When I was on maternity leave she told me that she looked forward to my blog posts as she would check for a new post daily. :)
So, today, I ran for Marta.
Hadley ran 11 laps and Easton ran 13. Each lap approximately equal to 1 KM.
I did about 7 laps, and then helped track kids laps for the rest.
It was a beautiful day to run for the cure.
