Our story…
Hello friends! Our team name comes from my Dad, who has been wearing a yellow jacket whenever he goes for a run for as long as I can remember. My sister and I started running this past winter and would wear his yellow jackets (to be safe, since they were so bright) and to match (since that is always fun), and then we got the idea of running a half-marathon, and we wanted to participate in the race while also contributing to a good cause: ALS Society of BC. The ALS society is personal to me, as my highschool band teacher passed away last November of ALS. He was encouraging, funny, incredibly dedicated to his role - and always supportive of your goals. The lessons learned in the bandroom far exceeded musical notes on a page. I want to run the half-marathon and 8km in honour of him. Thank you for all your support, anything and everything is greatly appreciated.
