Friends and Family,

I BELIEVE in the positive effects of exercise for mind and body, especially for families facing a cancer diagnosis. 

I became an IRONDame in 2009.  I was so INSPIRED by our friend and founder of the IRONDames, Kim Kearns (Pace).  Kim was battleing her own  cancer diagnosis and chose exercise and an Ironman race as a part of her treatment and way to raise over $150,000 for WELLSPRING, Halton-Peel’s Cancer Exercise  Program.

First, thinking that Kim had possibly one too many of her Romulin Ales (healthy green drink:), then witnessing her courage, strength and incredible PERSEVERENCE, I couldn't help but join in with this wonderfully supportive group of gals who helped enable this program to grow from a pilot program to the most popular program that WELLSPRING has ever introduced. 

Once again the IRONDames are stepping up to the Start Line in 2012 to raise $200,000 to construct and equip WELLSPRING Halton-Peel's New Cancer Exercise Faciility. Totally inspired by Kim, the IRONDames and Wellspring I am in for the long haul.  Along with my husband Kirk and a small but tenacious group of IRONDames and Dudes we will ride from Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies to Whistler in the Coast Mountains.  This traverse is a total mileage of 1000 km, climbing 35,000ft!!! Because we BELIEVE, we can INSPIRE and PERSEVERE! 

Please consider helping me meet my  Fundraising Goal to help in the construction  and equiping WELLSPRING Halton-Peel’s New Cancer Exercise Facility. Just click "Sponsor Me" to make a donation. By doing so you’ll be making an immeasurable difference in the life of someone fighting cancer. Thank you so much for your generosity!

Love Kim
