Want to sponsor this brat for the Army Run?
I've been in Ottawa for the past 19 years and have no plans to ever move.
As a good little brat, I do my duty to support the troops ever year by running the Army Run 5k. I took June and July off from running, and recently unpacked my inhaler to pick it up again. The humidity is killing me, but I'm determined to run a good race and hopefully achieve a PB (personal best for the non-runners reading this).
I usually fundraise for one run a year. In the past it's been the Ottawa Half Marathon, the Run for the Cure, and this year I'm fundraising for the Army Run. According to the site, the money goes to "support the Canadian Forces Personnel Support programs (CFPSA), including Soldier On and the Military Families Fund."
Help a Sister Out: Sponsor me! So here's the sales pitch: if you're interested in sponsoring me, please check out my sponsor page on the Running Room site.
If not, then please consider sending speedy thoughts my way or even come out to the run. There are cheering sections for spectators and truly, watching the disabled vets run is inspiring. They start 15 minutes before the main races, and some of them are crazy fast (See Rick Ball's profile).
