Run4Life Update, There's still room to join us.
We have been training hard to get ready for our big run in Guatemala. Two runners will be participating in the 100 km ultra-marathon and we have 8 relay runners at 25 km. With the funds we raise we will be helping many FeViva projects, and will be hands on helping to complete the Education Centre. We can still accommodate more adventurers who would like to come with us, and there is no requirement to run, we need support crew too! So come and join us, see info package attached. The dates are now confirmed Nov 14-24 and we managed to get flights from Vancouver. The trip cost of $1500 CDN includes airfare, Guatemala transfers, food & accommodation. Plus a tax receipt will be issued by Charity partners FeViva.

Natassia's Birthday
Young six year old Natassia decided to celebrate her birthday by taking donations for Rally4Life to provide children around the world with safe water, shelter and food. Everyone at Rally4Life is so proud of you Natassia. Thank-you.
Watch this lovely video and don't miss the part where Natassia tells her peers in developing countries, "If you don't have clean water, I have money.." Simple as that!
Wings of Kilimanjaro
We are very excited to announce that Advocate Mark Jennings-Bates has been invited to participate in a thrilling new challenge. In January 2013, the pilots will climb the highest mountain on the African continent and be the first paraglider pilots to officially fly from the summit. We wish them all luck and a safe journey. Follow their progress at www.WingsofKilimanjaro.com While Mark and nearly 200 other pilots will be raising funds for other charities, we are totally supportive of their effort to climb and fly the summer of Mount Kilimanjaro to aid in raising funds for two organizations, The One Foundation and Plant with Purpose.
Advocate Evan Guthrie wins local GrandFondo
Advocate and our next door neighbor Evan Guthrie is incredible talented and so humble. He completed the 122 km distance in under 3.5 hours and road biking is not even his specialty. From his blog "Over the last five km I was hurting pretty good from the leg cramps, which seems to be a road bike only thing for me, so I sat on the back of the group for the last few km and Mr Matt Hewitt from Vernon was gracious enough to lead me out for the sprint of the non-race race! I was able to cross the line first and have the fastest time of the day for the 122 km ride through the beautiful roads of the Okanagan Valley. With long climbs, short climbs, fast descents, bike paths, gravel roads, vineyards, orchards and lake views it made for a spectacular day of bike riding. It was crazy that I probably got the most media attention ever after the event.." Evan will be helping us again with our Annual Spinathon, watch for more details, and don't miss the chance to spin alongside the incredible young athlete.
