Marathon for Arthritis :: Sponsor Brad

Hi everyone - here is a short and sweet message update about my marathon... As you likely know (cause that's all I talk about these days) I've committed to running a marathon and raising money in sponsorship pledges for The Arthritis Society. I am working hard at my training, running my butt off 4 days a week, and x-training on a different two (I sleep on Sundays). I'm 8 weeks in, and each week I now run over 50km -- a distance that keeps increasing as the big day in December nears. While training goes well, I have to admit it's actually much harder than I thought and not everyday has been a happy one to put the shoes on and hit the road, but I am staying tough and keeping to the schedule. On top of the physical challenges, its also been an emotional ride for me. Prior to signing up for the Joints in Motion Marathon, I never realized how many people in my life are affected by Arthritis. The facts are more than 4 million Canadians alone currently suffer from arthritis -- I've gotten to hear some incredible stories from people that I know (and you know) who suffer with arthritis, and I realize just how important raising funds for a cause like this is. As part of this process, I was asked to name an "Arthritis Hero"- a person with arthritis in whose honour I would be running. My hero is a very good friend, she is younger than I am, and very tough, and not letting her disease slow her down. But I also know it causes her a lot of pain. She is my inspiration, especially on the days when I am struggling to complete a run. Wanna help with a contribution to my campaign? Click here. Sponsor any amount -- every dollar helps. Your tax receiptable donation($15 or more) will help me to reach my personal goal and will help The Arthritis Society complete their important work. Thanks bikers. Brad
