It has now been 4 weeks and we have made 305 dollars. We are on our way to becoming bald!!! Our first inch has been reached. So 1 inch will be cut off but lets keep donating. I want to be bald and i am sure that many of you would love to see how I look bald Don't forget you have until June 10th maybe futher to donate the money. Money can be collected via pay pal, in person, in store, or by mail. Any of these methods will work and will help us reach our goal, and help raise money for cancer research.
So far I would love to send some shout outs to:
- Amanda M.
- Dave and Marlene De V.
- Kristin Folz
- Janet Dodd
- Megan Dawson

Chopping it off for a good cause..........
Happy Monday Everyone;
So I am sure you are all probably wondering why I am writing to you. With facebook and email being the easiest way to send out the information I thought I would get everyone in one hit. For those of you not aware I want to help raise money for Scott Cannata’s run to live journey. He is running across our glorious country to help raise money for cancer research. His goal is to raise 2 dollars per Canadian.
As a Canadian myself I want to help make this journey possible. Being a runner and understanding the effects that running ONE marathon can have on your body, I can't even begin to imagine running one every day. The mental preparation, the nutritional aspect, the determination to push yourself over that wall time and time again is just incredible. As a runner I want to help support him and give him hope to finish each run every day.
To having biked Canada last summer and knowing just how hard that wind, rain, hail, sun, hills, rivers, mountains and wildlife can be there was also one thing Canada never failed to have. One thing that came easy among canadians. From the tiny towns to the big cities it remained common across every province. By this I mean the kindness that each person has no matter where they lived. There hearts so big, always willing to hear a story and share some small piece of life. As having felt this heart my entire trip, I support Scott to live the dream, and feel the heart wrap around him while he runs.
As a daughter to someone who recently had cancer I want to provide strength to other children whose parents could be going through the same thing. I want to share with them the strength my family built, and the strength it will take scott. My family became closer from this experience and hopefully as canadians this run brings us all together even more.
As a canadian I want to do more than raise $2 dollars. I want to donate not only money but my hair as well. Therefore, I have decided to cut my hair based on the donations made to the RUN TO LIVE CAUSE. For every $150 dollars I will cut an inch. So for 10 inches 1,500. 10 inches is the amount needed to make a wig :) Yet I don't want to stop there. To one up the challenge once more. I will cut it even short passed those 10 inches based on donations. If the donations become double and reach an amazing 2,500 I will shave my head. If they don't quiet meet that amount. They will still be cut. the $150 per inch will remain throughout the entire setting. I hope that through this we can inspire others to participate in events that help to raise awareness, raise money and raise hope. I admire Scott Cannata and want to help in any way possible.
If you are living in st. Kitts and would like to donate: feel free to personally drop off the donation at my house, mail the donation to my mailbox, drop it off at the St. Catharines Running Room, or I can meet and pick it up.
If you are living in P-town and would like to donate: feel free to personally drop it off at my parents house, give it to my parents, or give it to me when I come home for easter.
If none of these options work for you, feel free to email, Facebook, leave a comment and I will help you connect with any other forms. I am working to set up a website that is linked to receiving online donations. The donations will be acceptable from now until June 10th. I then plan on presenting Scott with the money raised. Either when he passes through Ontario. Or through one giant online donation! Your small help of 2 dollars can largely help millions!
