Our newest HTW Ambassador....

What do I know about Joey McIntyre?  Until recently not a lot beyond the fact that he was my sister's favourite in the early 90's boy band "New Kids on the Block".  Lately however Joey has made his way back on to my radar; no, my sister hasn't dusted off his posters in light of their recent reunion tours (her husband wouldn't approve), but rather the fact that Joey has become one of our Hear the World Ambassadors.  Joey's endorsement comes along with deep personal significance as his son Rhys was born with a severe hearing loss.  Joey has a become a strong voice in his mission to raise awareness on behalf of children with hearing loss, and we are extremely grateful for his support.

Without a rope....

There isn't a single step of running in this video, but I thought I'd post it as it never ceases to amaze me what people are capable of.  My heartrate was up a few times during this one.  Once you've watched it think how much more comfortable you are with the idea of running a 5km or half marathon :)

Have a great weekend everyone.

Symposium Run????

For those heading to Symposium in Niagara Falls next week I'll be running each morning at 7am (rain/shine), if you'd like to come along meet me in the lobby at the Hilton.  It will be a great way to shake off the previous evening's festivities.  If you're coming let me know and I'll pack your team shirt.

When Life Gets in the Way....

30km Around the Bay

Congratulations Rebecca and Isabelle!



This past weekend two of our CanHEAR Uganda Run participants Rebecca Vanderelst, and Isabelle Carriere braved the wind and battled their way through the 30km Around the Bay run in Hamilton, Ontario.  Congratulations on this huge accomplishment.

Rebecca has provided us with a great summary of the day in the following race report:

Busy time, busy times.....

Oh how life gets in the way of good intentions at times.  Given a moment to actually sit at my desk I realize that an insanely busy March has lead to a few weeks without blog updates.  I hope everyone is starting to take advantage of the longer days to get out for some evening air.  The mercury is still sitting a tad low for many, but there is some great running weather just around the corner.
