Hi everyone… just thought I’d take this opportunity to announce that May 13 is LIVESTRONG Day, a one-day initiative by the Lance Armstrong Foundation to raise awareness and funds for the cancer fight. The LAF is about:
- prevention
- access to screening and care
- improvement of the quality of life for cancer survivors
- investment in research.
All of which are vitally important, for both finding a cure for cancer and (in the meantime) helping us deal with its presence.
Very few people these days remain unaffected by cancer in one way or another. Campbell’s and my extended family alone includes those who have beaten it, those who are fighting it and those who, unfortunately, lost the battle, so we feel strongly about supporting the work of proactive organizations like the LAF.
For those of us living outside the USA, participating in one the many scheduled LIVESTRONG Day events might prove a little difficult… but fear not! You can always make a donation to this worthy cause AND help our accidental athlete Campbell get to New York at the same time. Dress up in your finest yellow garb and spread the word!

Mate you are certainly getting serious. I have given your blog site details to a few of the blokes in the running crew so they can keep track of your progress and get some tips. You must be loving these trail runs. You will be a hardened athlete by the time NY comes around. I am really enjoying the variety in training also. Nice to do a few different runs, keeps you from getting stale in the later stages of training. Our version of a trail run this weekend with the Mt Cootha loop, will let you know how we go. Later.
