Raise money for Lumara Grief and Bereavement Care Society

Come be apart of an awesome community who are working together to raise money for a very special cause!!! With the ongoing support of people like you, Lumara has been performing magic and making history. While we have no specific team goal, we do hope that each of our team members will continue to bring their amazing energy to our team but also help by raising at least $250 each for this event. Remember you can do the race in one day or spread it out over several days, whatever you are most comfortable with! Don't miss out on this great opportunity to engage in outdoor activity with fellow friends, family and colleagues. We promise your Vancouver Half Marathon Charity Challenge run event will be filled with feel-good moments where you’ll get to be apart of Lumara Alumni, staff and volunteers who are making a difference for individuals and families whose lives have been turned upside-down by the tragic loss.

Description

Many of us imagined running the 2022 Vancouver Half Marathon Charity Challenge in person this year; sweating as a team, our friends and family cheering from the sidelines. This year you have the option to run again virtually, or as a team live on race day, and there is a lot of reason to be hopeful that we will resume to some sort of normal soon!

While we wait for that day to come, getting out and getting active is an important way to maintain our overall health, both physically and mentally. That’s why I am thrilled to host this year’s race as your Lumara Society Charity Challenge Team Captain. I will be bringing together a race team to raise funds in support of Lumara and I hope you will join me.

Three ways to participate:

Be a part of the support team (in person or virtually) working towards our individual running goals. Choose from a half-marathon, 5k – or whatever distance you wish to challenge yourself with. 

1.    Run together (but apart): For those that want to unite as a team (in spirit), I’ll be holding the race on June 26th. I’ll put together a WhatsApp group for us to cheer each other on, share some positivity and photos of our success. <REGISTER NOW>

2.    Run on your own: Run at your own pace how and when it works for you. <REGISTER NOW>

3.    Donate to support the team: If you are unable to participate, but still wish to support the team, we would greatly appreciate a donation as we work towards reaching our event’s fundraising goal. <DONATE NOW>

In the past the Charity Challenge has helped the Lumara Society raise a considerable amount of money that plays a vital role in the organization’s operations. As this crisis continues and Canadians face grief, loss, anxiety and other mental health challenges, Lumara’s support services will be more important than ever. This is why I hope you’ll join me in running and fundraising for those who are grieving. 

More virtual race information can be found below. I hope you’ll join us! 

Your Team Captain – Gwynne Fane
