Karine entered the Canada Day Game of Life 5K
Run, starting at the Ontario entrance to the Alexandra Bridge and finishing on Laurier
Street at Jacques Cartier Park . Changing
Lives Through Sport supports the social development of individuals, communities
and organizations within Commonwealth countries using the transformative power
of sport. All registration proceeds from the run go to support the Bowling Out
AIDS program, a sport for development initiatives in the Caribbean .
Her run started at 8:10 a.m. She
and her friend/neighbour Isabelle were keen to begin. The Bowman family cheered
them on. The boys finished their breakfast. Sam hugged his Maman and off the
runners went.
Kirk, boys, Grandpa and Barbara crossed the
bridge to cheer the runners. They were happy to see old friends Rodney and his
girls. As they watched the runners come in, Sam clapped and clapped. Maman and
Isabelle ran into the finish together - 27 minutes!
While waiting for Maman to get her medal,
Samuel checked out his shoe size with Maurice Richard's skate. Maman joined
them and they hiked over the bridge to run the family race together. Isabelle's
family was running too.
The 1K Kid’s Run/Walk began at 9:00 a.m. from the same location.
It was a good race - everyone made it!
Suddenly we saw Robin, who had just
finished the 10km race. She was celebrating with Matt and Owen. Owen has a lot
of teeth!
After the race it was time for a snack and
time to reflect on Changing Lives Through Sport. A happy way to start Canada
Day.
