Super Sophia Runs for a Cure

I first met Sophia in New Zealand. A fellow crazy Canuck, she was out conquering the wilds of West Coast, Sth Island, KiwiLand. I was lucky again to cross paths with this crazy girl again in Krabi, Thailand (Tonsai IS climbing heaven!)

This amazing woman has more energy than anyone I have ever met (and I have met some energetic people!). So when I read that she was going to be running in the Vancouver Marathon with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, it seemed perfectly natural to me.

UNTIL, I read the part about her running 42.6 kms. Then she just seemed crazy! All over again! Haha. Or, maybe she’s just doing 21.1? Either way, it’s a heck of a lot more than most of us would even consider considering.

This is all happening THIS Sunday, May 7th. So before then, please check out Sophia's Fundraising Page, and if you can, please help her reach her goal of raising $2,000 for this worthy cause.

Traveljulie is helping her reach that goal as a bronze member, and encourages anyone who can, to help out. (Hey! Funding has been cut with our loss of Google advertising, but we’re still there to support great causes….and Google…we need to talk !)

Good luck Sophia! Maybe you’ll actually tire yourself out for once! haha
