Why did you create the team For Laurie?

My mother first got breast cancer when I was 6-years-old, it was scary to even think about at the time.  We then moved to Newmarket, Ontario to live close to my mums partner.  In 2002 my mum started the Bell team for the CIBC Run for the Cure, "Simply Bell," and we went to the run in Toronto every year until 2005.  After that my mum started to get really sick, the cancer had spread to her other breast and into her lungs.  

On August 1st, 2007 my mum lost her battle with breast cancer.  My family and friends then created a team for the 2007 CIBC Run for the Cure in Toronto, "For Laurie," though we haven't gone to the run since 2007.  So, this year, I am determined to get together a team of at least 10 people to raise donations and come with me to the run in Bracebridge, Ontario.  My personal goal is to raise at least $300, and as a team I want to raise at least $1,500.

The only way we can get our team shirts with the team name, "For Laurie," on the back, is if we get a minimum of 10 members.  Please E-Mail me at jemm789@hotmail.com or follow the steps in my other blog postings to join our team in the fight to create a future without breast cancer !
