CSF Freedom Run Vancouver

Title: CSF Freedom Run Vancouver
Location: Keith Road North Vancouver
Description: The Alberta Diabetes Foundation is proud to announce our partnership with Cash Store Financial in a new and exciting national initiative which will take place in 21 cities across Canada from June to November 2009. The CSF Freedom Run will raise money to fund critical research that strives to provide the 2.5 million Canadians afflicted by diabetes ‘freedom’ from the innumerable needles and insulin injections that they experience every day.
On July 18th, 2009 at Bridgeman Park in Vancouver you can become a champion against this debilitating disease by becoming a participant. Both adults and youth can take part in either a 3K or 5K fun run/walk or a 10K competitive run/walk.
The entry fee includes participation in the run, a t-shirt, participant package, lunch, and the chance to win great draw prizes!

The ADF is a focused team of volunteers, scientists, and professionals dedicated to raising money to fund world-leading diabetes research in cure for the diabetes epidemic that currently affects 1 in every 20 Albertans. Since its inception in 1988, the Alberta Diabetes Foundation has strived to become the preeminent diabetes funding organization in Western Canada and has invested its profits in the collaborative diabetes research taking place at the University of Alberta and the new Alberta Diabetes Institute. With the help of the Cash Store Financial team of over 1600 employees, the CSF Freedom Run will prove to be a leading contributor to funding this research over the next seven years to which they have committed.

Volunteers for the day of the run are needed from 8am to 3pm to fulfill duties including registration, course marshalling, food/drink distribution, and set up.
