I’m participating in the CIBC Run for the Cure this year. You can see my personal page (or donate) here: Connie’s Run for the Cure page. I’m not sure what has possessed me to do this really. As anyone knows who knows me, knows I don’t run. I never have and probably never will. But I can walk. And I plan on walking the 5k.
Doing this is a gauge for me. One of the side effects from chemo that hasn’t really gone away is my ability to walk without pain. I’ve been going to the gym and using a treadmill and it’s been helping and I hope by Sept 30th it will have helped enough for me to make the 5k trek. If I make it then I can kiss this side effect from chemo goodbye! Not only that but it is for a good cause.
I’ll be walking with a girl from work and anyone else who wants to go with me 🙂 Wish me luck!
