Team Mates (Part 7)
16. Lindsay - 23 years old. A Chemical Engineering student at the University of Saskatchewan currently on an internship in Edmonton. Never run a marathon before, but been a sports nut all her life. Enjoying the physical aspect of training. Also, great to have something to work hard towards besides final exams especially for a cause as significant as this. Aunt (see Dolly’s write up) ran in Iceland last year. She's been a huge inspiration will be with her for support.
17. Deb G – a 43 year old wife and mom of two teenage kids. Started running about three years ago and has really enjoyed it. Ran the Rome 2005 Marathon with CDA and found it to be a wonderful experience. Connection to diabetes through an Uncle who died of the complications that it causes. Wanted to do something positive with her running and this was the inspiration.
18. Dolly H - a 44 year old Hair Stylist from Battleford, Sask. This will be her 2nd Team Diabetes run. First was Iceland in 2004 and it was a wonderful experience. Lots of fun and a great and friendly country. Did the Half because of a nagging knee injury. Training partners are two miniature Schnauzers, Smokey and Bandit. Reason for choosing Team Diabetes , is because her father has type 2 and one of her very good friends has type1. Has seen them battle controlling the disease, and decided she would try to help in her own way. Husband Tom has been a great supporter. He is a mountain bike competitor. Will be attending NYC with niece Lindsay.
