Step Up For The Cure

0 comments


I'm participating to "Step Up for the cure", a 24-hour stair climbing marathon to benefit cancer research. The mission is to climb one stair for each of the estimated 11 million people who will be diagnosed with cancer worldwide in 2009. Every step counts, and honors the life of someone battling this devastating disease.

The event takes place in Montreal @ Molson Stadium on September 26-27 from noon to noon.

I have to run 15 sets of stairs (76 steps per set) per hour...for 24 hrs!! Ya i know, it's nuts!

Event goals for 2009

    * One step for each of the 11 million people who will be diagnosed worldwide in 2009;
    * Raise crucial money and awareness for cancer research and our beneficiaries.

    My goals for this event :
        * Help raise cancer awareness;
        * Engaged to help raise funds for cancer research, a minimum of $240 CA;
        * Advocate healthy and active living among my colleagues, friends and family.
        * Run 15 sets of stairs (76 steps for sets) per hour

      I need all of your help! If you support this cause and help me conquer this event, please visit this website to make a donation : http://bit.ly/stepup
