On Tuesday July
24, 11:30 am at Cape Spear National Park, the
presentation of the Torch Bearer Award will be made to Dr. Valerie Long by the
World Harmony Run organization, honouring her as this province's winner of this
prestigious award and we invite you to attend and show her your support. "The Torch-bearer Award is an award which
recognizes and honours individuals who have been of extraordinary inspiration
and service to their communities". Valerie's work with HHMAC and Les MS is
an indication of that inspiration to the community and we are proud to announce
this award on her behalf.
The
international run will conclude at Cape Spear as the torch is passed and with a
ceremonial run of 2 km to the finish line, and runners who wish to join are also
invited to participate. T-shirts will be
provided to all runners. Please email mrebidoux@mun.ca to register for the run and give her your
size for the shirt. This is a public
event so spread the word to your friends and colleagues. Runners are asked to meet at Victoria Park Day
Camp at 10:30 to receive their shirts and, if you wish, you will be driven to
the site of the run and then returned to Victoria Park at the end of the
ceremony (approximately 12:00-12:30).
