You
did it, Sudbury!
$93,000 and counting!
Rain or shine, Sudbury showed up for the CIBC Run for
the Cure. Despite the rainy weather, our community came
together with incredible energy, generosity and heart,
and we couldn’t be more grateful.
We are so proud to share that Sudbury has raised more
than $93,000 and counting to support people affected by
breast cancer. Every donation, every participant, every
volunteer and every sponsor helped make this possible.
Across Canada, the Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for
the Cure raised an incredible $18 million this year, bringing
together more than 65,000 participants and volunteers.
A huge thank you to our incredible committee and volunteers
for everything you did to make Run Day such a success.
And to everyone who ran, walked, donated, sponsored, volunteered,
cheered us on or braved the rain with us, thank you, Sudbury.
We also want to extend our sincere gratitude to CIBC,
our title partner of 30 years, and to our national sponsors
WestJet, Canpar, Tetley and YesTV for their continued
support.
$93,000 and counting. What a way to show up, Sudbury.
We’ll see you next year on Sunday, October 3, 2027!

Linda McCosham and Family at the Army
Run
For our family, the Canada Army
Run has become a wonderful tradition that we look forward
to every year. This year, on September 20 in Ottawa, four
family members came together to take part: my daughter
Debbie, her two sons, Jacob, 16, and Ethan, 13, and me.
Jacob and I took on the Sgt. Major’s
Challenge, which consists of both the 5K and 10K races.
Debbie and Ethan participated in the 10K.
Ethan had an especially impressive day,
finishing his 10K in just 46 minutes, which placed him
fourth in the U14 age group. The rest of us weren't as
concerned about our times. For us, the real reward was
simply being there, enjoying the beautiful day, cheering
each other on, and sharing the experience together.
The weather couldn't have been more perfect
for the event, making an already special day even better.
We left Ottawa with great memories, tired legs, and plenty
of reasons to look forward to doing it all again.
We can't wait to return next year and
continue our family tradition!
Linda McCosham

Lynn Stubbings runs the
County Marathon Half
The weather was wonderful
for the 23rd anniversary of the County Marathon event
in Prince Edward County. I have participated in the half-marathon
event every year since the beginning. I shared the day
with Ken, who ran the marathon each year, for as long
as he could.
Today was special for a couple reasons.
My guy, Joe Daniele, ran his second official 5k event
& is understandably very pleased with how his finish
times are improving.
And I was able to share my 103rd half-marathon with my
friend Iwona Yvonne Kay . We enjoyed our time together.
