Why we run/walk/cycle for our cause...its our personal best

I have been running for many years now. I started because I wanted to loose
weight and improve my health. I talk to a lot of people who feel the same
way.

But I keep running because it is my way of giving back. A lot of other
people feel the same way as this article in the Globe & Mail notes:
"Running for a cause can bring out personal best"
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health/running/running-for-a-cause-can-bring-out-personal-best/article1550293/?service=email.

Sally feels the same way. We are walking in the 'Strides for Stroke' event
in Richmond Hill on May 1. It is for the Heart & Stroke Foundation of
Ontario. Since we have been affected by both heart disease and strokes on
both sides of our families, we felt this was an excellent cause to support.

You can support us by making a secure credit card donation directly to the
Heart & Stroke Foundation of Ontario on our behalf. Just click here:

Thank you and keep running...
