It's too far for me to make it there for the weekend or I'd be going for the run, some food, fun and the great prizes I've been hearing about...
If you're within Canada but too far away to make it to Edmonton that weekend, the Spring Sprint is taking place in a number of cities across Canada through May and June - check out the list at the bottom of this post for a list of upcoming dates.

Dear friends and family
As most of you know, last
year at this time, our daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumour. As
you can imagine this was one of the most difficult times of our lives.
At first it was difficult to even comprehend (I found it easier to call
it a growth in her head, rather than a brain tumour).
Lyndsy
had brain surgery in Dresden, Germany in late August, 2011 and has made
a remarkable recovery. We couldn't be happier. She is attending
University and in fact at the end of April she competed in a 10 km run.
Shortly
after she was diagnosed last year, I found out about a fundraising
walk for the Brain Tumour Foundation called the "Spring Sprint". I
attended this walk last year, and as well Fred and I went to a support
group meeting in Edmonton to learn as much as we could about this
terrible disease. This past year I became involved with the Spring
Sprint as a way to give back and help others. I am the Spring Sprint
Coordinator.
The walk will be held on June 2,
2012 in Hawrelak Park. It is a 2.5 km or 5 km walk around Hawrelak Park.
Along with the walk there will be entertainment, door prizes, a silent
auction (we have obtained some great prizes), and lunch.
If you are able to participate - I encourage you to sign up.
To register or to donate directly to the Edmonton Spring Sprint (we have a goal of $75,000) please go to
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Sharon Schultz
