I am planning a jog relay across Canada "Relay-to-Recovery" , I need
organizers, local, and I need runners.  Can you help?  So far, we have
BC going strong, Alberta's a close second and Ontario is starting to get
into the spirit! NS is beginning to gather runners, and now we have a
contacts in all provinces but two.  We really need more people in all
provinces.  You don't have to do very much!  Just e-mail me, I'll write
promptly back and you'll see what I mean.

Here's a little more about the event..
 
The run relay  will go from NFLD to BC beginning on 15 May 1997.
Each relay runner will run 10K and each 10K will collect $100.00 to go
toward BREAST CANCER RESEARCH AND EDUCATION.  I will be running 10K
per day, 6 days/week and travelling across the country in a motor
home.  Local people across the country will be asked to participate,
running 10K each.
 
What we are desperately in need of are area Coordinators.  
These key people will be the fundamental back-bone of the whole event!  
This is a chance to unite the whole country in a common goal - to raise 
money AND public awareness of breast cancer.
 
Basically, we hope to cover 120K per day and we figure it will take
approximately 80 days +/- a few.
 
PLEASE! If you have any spare time that you would like to spend on this
worthy cause please E-Mail me... jlblades@auracom.com

Even if you just would like to be a runner in your area, please
E-Mail  me, so that I can put you in touch with your Provincial/County
Coord. 
 
The Canadian Cancer Society has the proposal and likes the idea.  We
are ironing out details and soon  it will happen, but we do need YOU!
 
I just re-read my post yet again, it seems to imply that we only
need people in NF, SK and NB.  We actually need people in all
provinces.  How about it, Can you help?  Mostly we need area
coordinators to find about ten local runners in their area.  That's
all really!  You don't have to be a runner to do this.

Please contact me for more information.

Cheerio,
