Alterna Do It For Dad Run and Walk
Dear Friends,
On Sunday, June 20th, I will be participating in the Alterna Do It For Dad Family Run and Walk. The goal of this annual event is to raise awareness of prostate and testicular cancer, as well as raising funds for life-saving research being undertaken by the Ottawa Cancer Society. According to the latest reports from Cancer Care Ontario, prostate and colectoral cancers are the leading causes of cancer dealths in our province.
I have great confidence in our ability as citizens of this great city to make a real difference in the fight against cancer. MoneySense magazine recently named Ottawa as the best place to live, work, play, and raise a family in Canada. It is no accident that Ottawa has received this honour. We are caring, compassionate, and we are a community that can make a real difference in the lives of those who have been impacted by cancer. We can win and we will win against Cancer, one victory at a time.
Please join me in supporting the Alterna Do It For Dad Run and Walk. To date, in the past 11 years, the run has raised more than $1.6 million dollars. I have set a goal to raise at least $1,000 for cancer research as part of Alterna’s VIP team. Please participate and donate the crucial funds needed to assist the Cancer Foundation in reaching its goal this year.

Do it for our friends. Do it for our brothers. Do it for Dad.
