We've not been updating this site as we should.....
We've been busy this winer fundraising for Team Diabetes and are happy to report that we've surpassed our fundraising goal for this year. We've set our sites on next year and all funds raised from this point forward will be put towards our goal for 2014.
Over the winter, we had tremendous support for all of our monthly runs. The 7th Monitor Run is coming up tomorrow and we hope to have a great turnout. The weather and water levels along the Saint John river are cooperating. This will make for an awesome Sunday morning run. The run only costs $5 and starts at 10am. We hope to se you there!
A huge thanks to all of you. Chat soon, Nicole & Lloyd
