Friends,

On Sunday, May 6, 2012, I will be participating in the Goodlife Fitness Toronto Waterfront Marathon Corporate Relay (Team National) while raising funds for the Canadian Diabetes Association.

A 5k specialist, this will be my very first time running with Team Diabetes, which is the national activity fundraising program for the Canadian Diabetes Association. The funds raised help the Association deliver on its mission of leading the fight against diabetes by helping people with diabetes live healthy lives while working to find a cure.

As someone living with Type 1 diabetes I know the importance of proper nutrition and maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle. Our team is dedicated to making a meaningful difference and supporting the more than 9 million Canadians living with diabetes or pre-diabetes.

With your generousity and support, help be a part of a movement that focuses on more than just getting participants to the finish line. Because when you run and collectively raise money for an important cause everyone wins.

We invite you to learn more about Team Diabetes and the important work of the Canadian Diabetes Association at www.teamdiabetes.ca
