Fundraising Update - $4,535 to date, $1,665 to go

What an amazing two weeks it's been! Since I started this website just under two weeks ago, I've been overwhelmed by the support that I've received--both in the e-mails that I've received and the money raised.
In only 11 days, the total dollars raised for the Canadian Diabetes Association has increased by over 33%! That leaves just over $1600 to raise before the September 22nd deadline. Thank you! I've received donations from co-workers, friends, family, family of friends and others that I've never even met before but that believe in the cause and the work that the Canadian Diabetes Association is doing.
Several others have stepped up and helped out in other ways too. Lynn Levac at the Laurentian University School of Sports Administration sent an email to all Laurentian SPAD alumni that brought in several donations from prominent SPAD grads.
The Fan 590, Toronto's Sports Radio Station has offered to air PSA's with a link to my website at no charge. Those of you in Toronto can tune into 590 AM to hear the spots in the next couple of weeks. Thank you Mike, Ian and Nelson for your support!
My brother-in-law, Glenn Austin of Rusty Steel Designs, has designed a brochure for my fundraising. I'm working on getting the PDF file up on my website so that anyone can download it and print it off to distribute to friends and family. If anyone has any ideas on how to do this, please drop me an email. In the meantime, I can email you a copy if you're interested.
And finally, Darren Weldrick of Marathon Dynamics has donated a customized training plan and is providing me with coaching support throughout my training.
Thank you to everyone who has helped out. You're truly making a difference. Stay tuned to this website as I should have some more exciting news coming up soon.
Bye for now. I'm off on an 11-mile run tonight.
