Terry Fox Run
I've decided that I'm going to participate in the Terry Fox Run for cancer on Sunday, September 14 at Mills Pond in Richmond Hill. It's the first time I've ever participated in a charity walk, so this is all new to me. Actually, I plan to -walk- the distance rather than run it as I know better than to think I could run 10 km..
I must admit that one of the reasons I've been reluctant to be involved in charity runs in the past is that I feel very shy about asking other people for money. Still, I guess if I'm going to walk 10 km. for charity I would be best to try to raise some money for the Canadian Cancer Society.
Therefore, if anyone out there is interested, I am looking for sponsors for my walk on September 14th. There are a few of ways to sponsor me.
1) I am signed up on-line at the official Terry Fox Run site now. It is possible to sponsor me on-line. Follow this link: http://www.terryfoxrun.org/ENRunner/default.asp , to find info on how to sponsor a runner. I am signed up under the participant name "Allison Durno". All on-line donations will be done through VISA or Mastercard.
2) I will be carrying a sponsor sheet with me all through Torcon (the Science Fiction WorldCon in Toronto next weekend). If you know you will be seeing me at the convention and would like to sponsor me, please talk to me anytime during the con.
3) If neither of these options work for you and you'd still like to sponsor me, please drop me a note here and I will try to contact you in some other way.
I look forward to my first charity walk with trepidation and excitement. Can't think of a more worthy cause then Terry Fox and the Canadian Cancer Society to be taking this new step.
More updates as the walk gets closer.
