FUNdraiser

Part of my internship requirement was to raise $1000 for Canadian Crossroads International. I quickly decided on a 5km FUN RUN - I mean who doesn't love running? After passing out fliers and telling friends, I realized that maybe this wasn't everyone's idea of a good time. Luckily I did manage to raise close to $1400! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR DONATIONS.

'Katie's Fun Run' was scheduled to begin at 6:45pm. At 4pm is started to drizzle and then it slowly began to rain harder and harder. By 6:00 it was cold and pouring out! I was worried no one would come however 22 brave souls (aka family and wonderful friends) came out and ran/walked the course. Despite the weather, it was a really fun time.

Lessons learned:
1. Have a rain date if event is outside
2. Not everyone shares my passion for running
3. I have fantastic people in my life
