Join us in the 2010 Reykjavik Marathon
This Friday (February 26th) is the deadline for registering to join the Team Diabetes FUN Runners at the 2010 Reykjavik Marathon in August! Challenge yourself and help the Canadian Diabetes Association make a difference in the lives of the 3 million Canadians with diabetes.
The Reykjavik marathon offers a 10K, half marathon and full marathon and is walker friendly so there is a distance and pace for anyone with a desire to fundraise and train in support of diabetes. The funds raised by the Team Diabetes Fun Runners support diabetes education, research, advocacy and programs and help the Association get closer to its goals.
In addition to the satisfaction of supporting such a great cause and getting healthier by doing so, team members enjoy other amazing benefits. In return for reaching the fundraising goal, team members receive:
• Return airfare from Vancouver
• Four nights accommodation in Reykjavik, Iceland
• Guaranteed entry into the event
• On-site team functions
• Official Team Diabetes Canada shirt
• On-line training and fundraising support and more
Registration to be part of the Team Diabetes Fun Runners closes February 26th. Sign up at www.teamdiabetes.ca and start your fundraising today!
Plus one Team Diabetes Fun Runner member will be chosen to be the official representative of the team! Tell us why being part of the Team Diabetes Fun Runners in support of diabetes is important to you.
The official team rep will receive not only the great benefits outlined above, but will also:
• have their own Fun Runner blog where they will keep followers up to date on their fundraising and training progress and include a direct link to their on-line fundraising campaign
• be featured in on-air announcements which will encourage listeners to follow their progress and make a donation to their fundraising campaign
