So, today, again, for the 12th time, I participated in the Annuel Run for the Cure here in Vaughan~ Although in the past, my wife Audrey and I participated in the Run in downtown Toronto. But the parking is so bad, that I decided to do the 5km walk in Vaughan. Well, actually did only 1 km s it was too cold for this guy with a knee replacement and a weak bladder!  As most of you are aware, the "Run for The Cure," is an annual event with the major sponsor here in Canada being the Canadian Bank of Commerce.

My wife, Audrey,is a TWICE Survivor and we are both, of course, so happy that she's come through.

It was great to see our team of about 18 out , including our mascot Naughty.  Not sure how much we raised towards the Canadian Breast Cancer Fund, but will keep you all posted in next Blog~~!

It's always interesting to me to see people of all sizes, cultures and even littel kids, participating in the event.

Most of us run for those who we've lost to the dreaded disease. My dedication was to my late son Jeff and to my late brother Norman, both who we have lost to Cancer in the last two years.

I've been a strong believer in giving back to Community whether it's this event or the Childrens' Miracle Network (CMN ). 

So, if you have similar events in your area, get involved.  It gladdens the heart and makes one feel wonderful!

Sorry  for not posting a regualr Blog recently, but I've been so busy with the new merger of a similar sized RE/MAX Franchise, that I've been neglecting this meaningful endeavor.

Great Job Stan.

You got involved and gave it your best shot. So many are touched by cancer along with other diseases.

Next time, even if you can't run you can help promote your local event.

While many people may only see us as business professionals, our passions for our charitable organizations make us more relatable to our clients and better persons for giving back to the community.

Hey Stan,

Way to go.... I believe that your 1km is worth 10 of mine. That's the survivor spirit of participation. You know that it's a concern that's close to my heart. Good work Zio.

Our Love always to you and Audrey..

Sergio and Nella.

Hello Stan, it is such a great cause, and 1 km is defenitely nothing to sneeze at on a cold October's day. Just getting out there and participating was probably enough inspiration to motivate your whole team.
