Run Up For Down Syndrome 2011
The scenic landscape of Burnaby Mountain served as the perfect backdrop for this year’s Run Up for Down Syndrome, an annual fundraiser organized by the Down Syndrome Research Foundation with proceeds going towards enhancing the quality of the foundation’s resources and programs. This year we had a record turnout of over 800 participants and 27 teams taking part in either the 1.5k walk or the 5k walk/run. As individuals and teams crossed the finish line, the first male and female to cross received medals. Our younger runners and walkers did not leave empty handed as they were treated to raffle prizes and goodie bags. On the whole, this year’s event was by the far the most successful and it could not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors. We would like to thank our dedicated group of volunteers including our events and fundraising committee, staff, parents, students and community members who worked tirelessly in an effort to make this event such a success. Last but certainly not least, we would like to say thank you to all of our run/walk participants and to the family and friends who generously supported them through their pledges. We are grateful for your ongoing support of the DSRF and look forward to seeing you again next year.
