Big turnout for evening charity marathon
Alison Mozes loves to run.
Five or six times a week for the last 15 years,[url=http://duveticaitaliaoutlet.webmium.com/][b]http://duveticaitaliaoutlet.webmium.com/[/b][/url], she's gone out for 30-minute and hour-long runs. The 30-year-old Mississaugan wears out two pairs of sneakers a year. So,[url=http://duveticaaustraliaoutlet.halod.com/][b]duvetica jackets aliaoutlet outlet[/b][/url], running shoes are always a high priority on her Christmas and birthday wish lists.
So, it was no surprise to see her among the estimated 300 people who turned up this evening for the official opening of the newest Running Room outlet in Meadowvale. As part of the opening,[url=http://woolrichdeutschland.albirank.net/][b]http://woolrichdeutschland.albirank.net/[/b][/url], the Running Room staged an outdoor evening charity marathon for someone most of the entrants don't even know.
"I was going to run anyway," said Mozes. "It's even better when you run for a cause. It makes you feel good."
The charity marathon was to raise money for Jason Baird, a minor professional hockey player who suffered severe burns over 60 percent of his body last July when a lawnmower he was operating while working for a landscaping firm in Akron,[url=http://duveticaonline.olimx.com/][b]http://duveticaonline.olimx.com/[/b][/url], Ohio,[url=http://woolrichoutletfr.halod.com/][b]http://woolrichoutletfr.halod.com/[/b][/url], suddenly exploded.
"I found out about it a month ago, I guess,[url=http://duveticaaustraliaoutlet.halod.com/][b]duvetica down jackets sale online[/b][/url]," said Mozes. "I read about it. I don't know him. I've never met him."
Kym Baird,[url=http://duveticaonlineitaly.albirank.net/][b]http://duveticaonlineitaly.albirank.net/[/b][/url], Jason's mother,[url=http://monclerdownjacketsoutlet.albirank.net/][b]Cheap Moncler Down Jackets For Men moncler coats outlet on sale[/b][/url], was in awe with the turnout.
"This is so wonderful," said Kym, who took part in a 2.5-kilometre walk with one of the marathon organizers, Mississauga realtor Linda Pinizzotto. "Every time you read a newspaper,[url=http://duveticaaustraliaoutlet.halod.com/][b]duvetica jackets aliaoutlet outlet shop duvetica down jackets sale online 2014[/b][/url], you read about bad things. These people are so generous and thoughtful and they don't even know him."
It's not known how much was raised to help Baird pay his medical bills because money continues to be donated online. However,[url=http://monclerjackenonlinech.albirank.net/][b]http://monclerjackenonlinech.albirank.net/[/b][/url], each person taking part in the marathon paid a $10 entry fee with all of that money being turned over to the trust fund.
Baird,[url=http://duveticajacketstore.blogspot.com/][b]http://duveticajacketstore.blogspot.com/[/b][/url], a 28-year-old native of Cayuga who played minor hockey for the Mississauga Reps of the Greater Toronto Hockey League,[url=http://duveticaonline.olimx.com/][b]Duvetica piumini italy online piumini duvetica outlet duvetica jackets shop[/b][/url], underwent the latest in a series of operations last Monday to release some skin around his neck. He has to undergo more surgery next week.
"He's doing okay," said Kym. "He's very positive. He says this is the way it is and he just wants to get better. He's very determined. We're hoping he can come home for Christmas. That's our game plan right now. That would be a pretty good gift."
Baird played for four years with the Erie Otters of the Ontario Hockey League and since turning pro in 2001, he has played primarily in the Central Hockey League. Salaries in the minors aren't very high so many players find themselves taking on summer jobs to supplement their income. And because the accident happened in the off-season, Baird had little or no insurance coverage,[url=http://duveticaaustraliaoutlet.halod.com/][b]duvetica jackets aliaoutlet[/b][/url], leaving him and his family with mounting medical bills.
Plans for the marathon began not long after Baird suffered his accident. And as each entrant crossed the finish line Wednesday night,[url=http://duveticaaustraliaoutlet.halod.com/][b]duvetica down jackets sale[/b][/url], the president and co-founder of the Running Room,[url=http://duveticajacketstore.blogspot.com/][b]duvetica jackets[/b][/url], John Stanton, was there to hand out medals.相关的主题文章:
