We had a blast!
First, I want to thank a few people for their involvement in this year's event.
At the top of the list is Cathy Chin and Alyssa, who came in at the last minute to help with food. Cathy made a huge spread for us runners, that included some great chicken, and easily the best roast beef that anyone at the event had ever tasted! Thanks Cathy, we would have been lost without you.
(Italo also came through with his delicious sausages and was a big help all day long keeping things organized at RE/MAX headquarters (our tents, generator rental, t-shirts etc.)
A special thanks to Craig Muskeyn and John Lichtenwald for donating the delicious cold beer.
Notable thanks to Erica Robertson for helping with the running schedule.
Also, many thanks go to each one of the runners, fundraisers and volunteers who came out to support our team over the 24hr period. (especially Wendy McMichael who stayed longer than any other runner....she was a trooper). We were a small crew, considering the size of the company, but all of our runners and guests had a lot of spirit. Thank you all again. Next year, we're going to have to encourage the rest of the offices in the Lower Mainland to help make us a huge team, in runners and pledges. (I think our total amount raised was just shy of $4,000)
The total amount raised for the entire event was over 1.2 million dollars which should help over 1000 kids go to camp this summer.
Last, and certainly not least, I need to thank my brother Jordan for all of his work and dedication to the event. He was involved with a lot of the process, including this fabulous blog you're reading now.
Now!! Let's get to the good part; the pictures!! Big thanks to Colleen for being the unofficial team photographer, and taking these great shots of our team in action. Enjoy!!

Thanks for the nod Wes, but it was all a lot of fun, really.
I too should thank Cathy and the guys who bought the beer. And Italo's sausages were tasty.
Cheers!
