Cerebral Palsy Association of BCScotiabank Charity ChallengeYesterday was an eventful and beautiful day despite having less than 5 hours sleep. I started it by cycling down to Stanley park where the Scotiabank charity challenge, where you could choose to run or walk 5k or a half marathon, was taking place. For those who were running the half marathon, their morning had already began at 7am and some of them were near crossing the finishing line by the time I arrived at the charity village to help the Cerebral Palsy association of BC with their booth for the morning. The Cerebral Palsy association is a wonderful charity in Vancouver that is committed to making a life without limits for people with disabilities. Set up in 1954 the charity works to  raise awareness of cerebral palsy in the community, assists individuals living with cerebral palsy to reach their maximum potential and does this in many ways ranging from fundraisers, implementing programs and events. The executive director of the charity, Feri, and a few of her colleagues were taking part in the event, some doing the 5k and some doing the half marathon so I was there to help man the stand and cheer them on. There’s always such an incredible atmosphere at charity runs and yesterday was no exception. There was food in abundance for the runners ranging from liberty yoghurts, bananas, cookies, power bars, smoothies and so many charities were taking place. It was really nice to take some time and walk around the other stalls to see the other charities that were involved in the event. Continue reading →
