Last month, Caitlin and Shaneef were filmed by CityTV for a “Marathon Minute” feature for the Scotiabank Calgary Marathon. We have been eagerly awaiting this video, and are thrilled to share it with you today!

At least, that’s what the people at the Scotiabank Calgary Marathon have told us.

Since the inception of the Charity Challenge in 2010, the Calgary Marathon committee has been shining the spotlight on local charities, allowing runners to turn their race into a fundraising event. Of the 70 charities who have taken advantage of this partnership in 2015, the marathon committee has chosen THREE organizations to promote as “featured charities.” Can you guess who they chose?

That’s right, they chose us! And as you can see, we’re pretty excited. And we’re hoping that this added exposure will help us to reach our team goals:

• We want Team DDRC to be made up of over 50 walkers and runners
• We want to raise at least $17,000
• We want to increase participation from clients, employees, and community members
• We want to raise awareness of the DDRC and disabilities sector

This is where you come in. If you’re a walker, a runner, or or would like to become one, consider signing up for one of the many race options, and create a fundraising profile with Team DDRC! Fundraising is completely optional, and registering with a charity gets you a discounted fee. Race day is Sunday, May 31.

If running or walking isn’t your thing, you can support team DDRC with a financial donation. No contribution is too big or too small!

If you’ve got spirit (yes you do), come join our cheering squad at the Stampede grounds! No experience is necessary, just bring a big smile and a positive attitude!

We’ll continue to share information on the event as it draws nearer, but you can always contact the DDRC Fundraising Committee at (403) 240-3111 with questions.
