Slideshow: Raising awareness, running and walking for love
Showing support for a loved one can be as simple and profound as participating in a charity event. The CIBC Run for the Cure saw a record-breaking 2,600 participants run or walk in Assiniboine Park for the 35th annual race. This effort raised approximately $561,000 for breast cancer research.
The event, which takes place every year, offers two distances: a one-kilometre walk and a five-kilometre run. The participants come together to show their support for those battling breast cancer or those fighting the disease. The event is held annually and offers a 10% discount off the regular annual price for new and returning subscribers.
The race took place for the first time at Assiniboine Park and photographer John Woods documented the event. The newsroom relies on a growing audience of readers to support their journalism. If you are not a paid reader, consider becoming a subscriber to help power their journalism.
