Thanks to so Many People

As it gets closer to the date of the run, and I use the word run lightly, I am thinking about everyone that has helped and is still helping. Without each and everyone of you I wouldn't have been able to do this. All my Saskatoon friends for their training hours and the friends/family that put in the hours setting up events to raise money. All my friends and family here that have done training with me or helped with events. All the believing in me! Everyone that made a donation. I thank everyone of you, I will be quick to support any of you in anything you undertake! I know it seemed crazy that I wanted to do a half marathon, but you still supported me! Just so you know I am right up to date with my actual training (we are each assigned a personal trainer who prepares us for the run) and haven't missed a km! Anytime I feel like it hurts too much, all I have to do is remember and you all keep me going! Thanks and God Bless you all!

See it wouldn't take long!!

I had a Canadian boss up to 4 years ago, so perhaps she rubbed off on me too
