When I woke up this morning at 7 am (and couldn't remember why I'd set my alarm that early) I didn't think that by 9 am I'd be painting faces, chests, arms and various other body parts.
The reason? The CIBC Run for the Cure which is a fundraiser for breast cancer. This year some friends of mine from Saint Mary's organized the first all-male team called "The First Timers" and I tagged along to cheer, take photos and paint. We sprayed hair, shoes, shirts, and socks bright pink. I painted tshirts onto guys and even did a couple fake beards in the pink paint.
The turnout was amazing, over 7000 people! My roommate was volunteering, something I want to do next year, and they apparently ran out of registration forms and tshirts at the main site. This run takes place every year in Halifax, I highly recommend being a part of it in any aspect. Check it out to find out how you can get involved here.
