Last weekend we were signed up for the Run, Walk, Roll for the Child Development Centre. The whole family was signed up as well as Barb and Reg since they were in town for Callie's dance recital. Unfortunately it was 5k and Barb had a sore foot and wasn't able to make it. We've done this run several times in the past but this year we have someone who is actually taking advantage of their services. My nephew was formally diagnosed with autism and has been attending speech therapy classes for the past several months.
In the past the kids and I have always done 2k with Kerry sometimes choosing to do the 5k or 10k. Since we're all 5k experts now we were all signed up that event. It's a good distance since even if you don't feel like running it doesn't take too long to walk it. For the $20 entry fee we got a t-shirt, a run, popcorn and a meal of hotdogs, Indian food and snacks. Since everything is donated, the entire entry fee goes to the centre. (Unlike many other local events where the bulk of the entry fee ends up going to organizing the race.) There are at least 500 people signed up and there are other sources of income including a pancake breakfast by donation and a donation box. A fun event even though it was 27 degrees by the time we finished. Carter was very excited about the water stations along the way.
