Organiser's Description
Ready to run so a wish can come true? This Summer, I am launching the first-ever charity run during the Cochrane Lions Labour Day Rodeo weekend in support of my campaign with the Women For Wishes and Make-A-Wish Canada. We hope to raise $10,000 during this fun event that will give Make-A-Wish the ability to grant a sick child the wish they are waiting to come true. In Canada, 90% of wishes that come in are for a magical trip to the Happiest Place on Earth. So the theme of our event is inspired by the characters that bring joy to life in the Parks. This means dressing up is encouraged!With the generous help of the Cochrane Lions Club our event has very little overhead, which allows us to donate almost all of the proceeds from the registrations that come in from amazing people like you.The registration table will open at 7:30 AM and warm-up and the official introductions will start at 8:30 AM, followed by the 5KM event starting at 8:45 AM. And our family 1KM will be sent out at 9:00 AM! Both of the events are accessibly friendly, with a few minor slopes closer to the river.So grab those runners, shine up that crown or find your super suit, because we are running for a wish to come true!
