 CAPE BRETON FIDDLERS RUN  INFORMATION AND SIGN UP LINK: 
An update  from race director Lydia Dickson:

Pre Registration week-end for the Cape Breton Fiddlers Run
Saturday June 4th, 10 AM to Noon and 2 PM to 4 PM
Delta Sydney, downstairs
See you there.
 
The start and finish of the Run will be located at the Joan Harris Cruise Pavilion Sydney Marine Center. There will be a press conference in April for the run and the route will be unveiled at this time.

We are looking for runners to send in their profiles with a picture to cbfiddlersrun@ns.sympatico.ca These profiles will be in the Cape Breton Post for the 26 weeks leading up to the Marathon.
 
The Cape Breton Regional Hospital Foundation has announced that the funds raised from this event will go towards the purchase of three new incubators in 2005 for the Neo Natal Intensive Care Unit. On average, six babies per day use the services of an incubator. We are pleased to help contribute to the purchase price of  three incubators at the cost of $40,000 each.
 
This is an ambitious project and we hope to have a good turn out and show of support from the public on race day.
 
Good luck to all runners from beginners on up with your training for the Marathon and other runs. Run safe Lydia Dickson Race Director Cape Breton Fiddlers Run.

With all the interest we thought we should set up a link directly to the Running Room's on-line registration and information:  Cape Breton Fiddlers Run

The race organizers are developing a web page for the run.  Check it out at www.capebretonfiddlersrun.com
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Had a chat with the Fiddler's Run Volunteer Coordinator,  Michelle Killam.  In order to make the race weekend a huge success there will be a need for at least 500 Volunteers.  Michelle is looking for some energetic people to step up to the plate and either volunteer for the race weekend, or to perhaps locate volunteers who would be willing to be part of the big race weekend. There is a Volunteer Request Form on the marathon website. There will be two Volunteer Fairs, one on May 22, 2005 to register as a volunteer and on October 2nd,2005 to organize the volunteers.  For further information you may contact Michelle at 565-4298 or email her at killammm@gov.ns.ca. Don't forget folks this race weekend is for a worthy cause so why don't you give Michelle a call or drop her a line and get involved.

MARATHON IN THE WORKS FOR INDUSTRIAL CAPE BRETON IN SUPPORT OF THE HOSPITAL FOUNDATION: 

Received a message from Lydia Dickson concerning plans for a marathon set to go some time next summer:
Hi Lauchie,

Could you please post on your web site that I'm putting on a marathon in support of the hospital foundation.

At this time, I'm putting a working committee together. So far everyone I talk to is excited about the news. I had the good luck of running into John Stanton from the Running Room in Toronto. He has agreed to sponsor our event with on line registration and the fees that go with it. He will also provide us with the bibs. This is good news for us. I have been talking to lots of people.

To start, the Hospital Foundation is pleased we want to put on a marathon. The YMCA will send someone to sit on the committee. We all know him as Randy Crawley, board member.There will be someone from Aliant, Judy Mac Intyre. Everett Dickson, Debbie Howie and Chris Milburn from the CB Road Runners have offered to sit on the committee.. I have a lawyer from the hospital that will be on hand for help if we need it, also several of the runners from the hospital.Things are taking off. We have a few routes picked out and a time and date is to be set.

Can you post some of this info and I would like to ask any one who is willing to come out and help with the planning or have any thoughts on the marathon to e-mail me please, at the following address.

Thank You in advance for your help.
