The results are in and thanks to the generous support of our runners, walkers and other donors, we have surpassed our goals for the 2011 Scotiabank Vancouver Half-Marathon & 5K!
- We registered 76 participants – 26 more than our goal of 50
- We have raised $26,568 so far (final number to come after Jul. 10) – more than $1,000 above our goal of $25,000
It was a fantastic morning – the weather was beautiful, everyone was happy and excited and we want to say a big thanks to all the participants and volunteers who provided information and answered questions about Alzheimer Society of B.C.
