Team Mates (Part 2)
4. David F - Wasaga Beach, ON (The worlds longest fresh water beach!). Had a friend run for Team Diabetes (Rome 2001). Thought he would like to do it some day. Saw an ad for Team D Iceland in Sept 04, started running that day and ran it in Aug 05. Needed a good public goal for another marathon and NYC seemed like a good idea! Wife and daughters will also be there to watch the race (and shop!). A banker most of the time, a municipal politician part of the time, and a regional delegate of the CDA in his spare (??) time. Will be 47 at the time of the race. One of his fellow Rotarians, Lesley P will also be joining the group for this run.
5. Tania T - Thunder Bay ON. January 2005 was trying to think of something spectacular to do for 30th birthday that year. A co-worker was talking about running a marathon in Hawaii for Team Diabetes and I thought that was a fantastic idea. Not only was the marathon 1 week after her 30th birthday (perfect timing) but would also raise money for a great cause. Hated running but decided to jump in and suck it up. Had FUN doing the fundraising with help from a friend who had moved back to Thunder Bay and who has diabetes. Off to Honolulu Hawaii where she had the best experience of her life - met great people and ran the most difficult challenge she had ever faced. When NYC came up she jumped at the chance to start the whole process all over again. She’s “… 30, single and loving life”.
6. Barry D - Burlington, ON. For his 40th birthday climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. Now looking at the NYC marathon as a bigger mountain. Always liked a challenge and raising money for CDA and running a marathon seem like a great one. This will be his first marathon. Goal is to run it under 4 hrs
