THANK YOU to all our participants for lacing up your shoes to run or walk in the ninth annual Run for the Brave on Saturday, August 25 in support of Veterans living in care. They ran for fun. They ran in memory. They ran for their Heroes. More than 200 participants of all ages braved the wind at the Edmonton Garrison. Everyone had a story. One man carried the medals his father earned during his career in the Service; two ladies ran in memory of their uncle; veterans participated in remembrance of their contribution to WW II and Korea and for their comrades; others ran for the cause. The stories were incredible. One woman, struggling on the 10km route, was motivated to keep running by the thought of soldiers in trenches making far greater sacrifice than any of us ever will. Anne & Nigel Forge, dedicated supporters of the run and top pledge earners, arranged a “satellite location” while on holidays to walk a 5km route with friends in Nanoose Bay, BC the morning of August 25. Doug & Don Calder, brothers who have supported the run for years after their dad was in care at Kipnes Centre for Veterans, challenged everyone in attendance to “bring a friend” to the event next year. Who will you bring August 24, 2013? Run for the Brave is a 10K road race and 5K family fun walk in support of elderly and disabled adults living in CapitalCare long-term care centres in Edmonton and area. Sincere gratitude to our sponsors and contributors for your support: Sponsors
