Do you like running? Or walking? AND do you love TVA?
If the answer to any of those questions is YES, then don't miss the chance to join the Toronto Vegetarian Team at the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon on September 27! Now is the perfect time, as our new sponsor, Live Organic Food Bar, will be offering a $25 gift certificate to our top fundraiser! Plus, all team members who fundraise for TVA will be invited to a private post-run dinner with Brendan Brazier in early October.
There's no need to fear joining the team, as this race, which can be completed as a 5k, 1/2 marathon or full marathon, is commonly described as flat, fast and festive.
Joining the team is simple. Contact Barbi Lazarus at 416-544-9800 or blazarus@veg.ca to receive your special pincode for a discounted registration rate and full information on signing up.
Are you already registered with another charity at the race? Really not interested in running?
