Peter's Team Diabetes Triathlon (and formerly Marathon) Blog

The 3rd Annual Transplant Trot 5k took place was a fun run that raises $$$ and awareness for organ donation. Although it has been less than a week since my Boston Marathon experience it was important to me to participate to show support for my friends Kendra and Johnson John in Ottawa. Check out their website at www.helpteamdiabetes.com. They are, respectively, donor and recipient of a kidney transplant.

The run was small (roughly 20 participants) but loads of fun. We met some great folks and had a chance to do a little recruiting for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) 5k fun run that we are helping to organize for June 3rd. It is part of the Walk To Cure Diabetes event that is held annually here in Fredericton.

Jill ran a great 5k completing in just over 32 minutes. Also great was having our friend Helen MacKinnon with us. She is doing the Running Room learn To Run program and this was her first 5k race. Way to go Helen. From the picture you can she that she finished in fine style!!
