KATHERINE & CLAIRE RUN IN FOR DIABETES IN ICELAND

Claire and I did it. We raised over $13,000 between us, we whipped ourselves into shape and on Saturday, August 19, we finished the half marathon. 180 Canadians traveled to Iceland with Team Diabetes to run or walk the half or full marathon. Together we raised over $1 million dollars. The Canadian Diabetes Association treated us to three days in Reykjavik. They fed us, accommodated us, took us to the Blue Lagoon, and provided coaching. I highly recommend this experience. It was a real win-win. Lots of money was raised, the participants achieved personal goals, and we experienced an unusual and beautiful country. Check it out: Team Diabetes.

Thanks so much to those who helped us...
