BCSS Victoria will be part of Times Colonist Charity Pledge Program for GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon

It was announced today that BCSS Victoria will be one of twenty charities participating in the 2012 Times Colonist Charity Pledge Program in the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon.  Charities raise awareness and funds by encouraging individuals to run or walk for their individual causes, and by collecting pledges.

“Each and every charity involved in the 2012 Charity Pledge Program has been selected based on the work that they do, and the commitment that they have to each and every participant that raises much needed funds locally, provincially and nationally,” says Cathy Noel, General Manager of GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon.

BCSS Victoria was one of the 22 charities raising money through the marathon last year.  The approximately $7,000 raised was divided between the Peer Support Program and the Memorial Fund.

The 33rd Annual GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon takes place Sunday, October 7th, 2012.  In addition to the Marathon there is a Half Marathon, 8K Road Race and Thrifty Foods Kids Run & Marathon. For more details visit www.runvictoriamarathon.com.
