Hello friends and supporters,

No doubt by now you've grown weary of me talking or tweeting incessantly about how much I've come to love running and wished there was some way you could just pay money to get me to shut up about it. Well here is your chance!

Earlier this year I resolved to start tackling one of my bucket list items: to complete at least one each of a 5km, a 10km, half, and full-marathon. It was an easy decision to make in January with all the time in the world to prepare, but now as the big day itself looms over me I've decided to add some extra motivation, and support a very worthy cause at the same time. 

Preparing for this half-marathon has gotten me through some tough times, helped me focus my energies and get other aspects of my life in order. I think it can do even more. 

I've decided to support Solider On - a program which supports current and veteran members of the Canadian Forces dealing with physical injuries or mental health issues - and I hope you'll consider helping me turn my postiive experience into something useful to others.
