My Story…

Rich and I are gearing up for the 'Ultimate Date' at this year's Calgary Marathon. What better way to spend a morning than being handcuffed to your partner? How about being handcuffed to your partner AND running a marathon! That's right! To help celebrate MitoCanada's 10 year anniversary, Rich and I will be 'cuffed' together for 42.2k. Our goal while enjoying our 'date' is to raise awareness and funds for MitoCanada which is a charity very dear to us. We have been honoured to be involved with this charity for the past 10 years and proud of the advancements that have been made as a result of ours (and so many others) fundraising efforts. We have been able to fund research, bring wait times for diagnosis down from 2 years to 2 days and have built a foundation that provides somewhere for families to turn for information and support when they are dealt such a hard hand. Our goal is to raise $100/km and help continue the momentum that MitoCanada has built for helping so many!

Description

RUNNING FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T is TEAMmito's mantra.  TEAMmito is the grassroots awareness and fundraising program of MitoCanada.  Our team is comprised of exceptional individuals from across the country who turn their sports passions into special events and athletic feats to benefit those living with mitochondrial disease.  

2020 is MitoCanada's 10 year anniversary and we would LOVE to have you join our team!  Our goal this year is to set TEN Guinness World Records to celebrate the progress we've made in the past 10 years and kick off the next 10 right!  If YOU would like to join the GWR attempts or find out more, please email gwr@mitocanada.org for details.  

We are also attempting to have the most MITO participants at the Calgary Marathon this year as we ever have.  TEAMmito welcomes all ages, paces and abilities!  Running as part of TEAMmito comes with many perks.  You get to race for a cause bigger than your personal goals, raise funds for an incredible charity and join the after party to re-live the race course events.  Sign up today and remember to stop by our MitoCanada booth at the expo for your tech t-shirt!
