From Easy Nash:
My wife and daughter are participating this weekend in the 60km walk as the main event in the “Weekend to End Breast Cancer” in Toronto, Canada. This walk has recently taken place and is currently taking place in other large cities accross Canada as well. They and their team have been training hard for a good part of the summer for the gruelling 60km walk, which will be split into two 30km walks on consecutive days this weekend(starting @ 7.30am this Saturday morning and ending @ 5pm on Sunday afternoon). All the long training walks along the many beautiful trails in the city of Toronto, all the uphill walk training, the cardio swimming, the treadmill thumping, the weights and other gym training have combined to make their team ready to tackle the task this weekend. Along the way they will raise at least $2000.00 each(and some of them much more than $2000.00) that will go towards Breast Cancer research at Toronto’s Princess Margaret Hospital, among the top five cancer hospitals in the world. Breast Cancer will strike 1 in 9 women so we all know of someone(friend, relative or friend of a friend) who has been afflicted by this disease. Two of my wife’s sisters are breast cancer survivors and their grandmother had the disease and survived it as well. Today’s walk has already generated over $13 million for the hospital. I salute my wife and daughter, their team as well as all the donors to their campaign for their voluntary efforts, in the great spirit of promoting civil society and the cosmopolitan ethic, to try to wrestle this disease to the ground.
nice pictures.
