General Discussion - The Toronto Weekend to End Women's Cancers

How many walkers still do 2 days rather than just the one? It seemed really light the 2nd day this year and we were wondering if fewer are doing it or whether some people left camp after the rain/mud and didn't come back.Also, how many walkers are survivors? I'm guessing based on the t-shirt piles that...

I'm not sure if anyone uses the message board anymore. I guess I'll soon find out. I have a tag day to exchange with someone, it's August 3, Avenue Road, Toronto.

JulieK · JulieK

I've done this a few years and can't stop now. Cons:Torrential rain - mind you, despite giving ourselves permission to not walk the whole thing, we stuck with it and had fun. So it wasn't that bad after all.Mud - had just about dried out when we hit camp, only to get the shoes wet all over again. Next year'...

Seriously, whoever mapped that one out got it right. It was great both days, loved going through the residential districts, very scenic, not a lot of hills, etc. Congrats!

JulieK · JulieK

I got my registration package this year. Long range weather forecast is cool which is better IMHO, albiet two weeks out it's far from reliable. -- Edited by JulieK on Sunday 26th of August 2012 05:33:47 PM

I was awarded 2 tag days at prime Toronto locations - Queens Quay (Aug 18)and St Lawrence Market (July 7). Unfortunately I am not able to attend either and I am willing to give these away - preferably separately to share the fundraising love. I made almost $1000 in one day at St Lawrence Market last year....

I am a 6th year walker from Cambridge and have had tag days at the LCBO for the past 4 years and this year I was told that there is a corporate change and they do not allow walk/run-a-thons in their tag days anymore. Has any else run into this problem or is it for my region only.

This is my first time doing this walk and I'm a little confused on how to get donations. Is there a form or a way for people to fill out and donate to me, or can they only donate online? I wanted to have my parents and neighbors help me but I think it's more difficult to do that if they have to go online

Just wanted to send a BIG Thank you to the medical crew that took care of me on Day 1 After not eating enough and getting overheated I passed out and had my first and last ride in an ambulance. I'm fine now and returned to camp in the evening of day 1. I walked on Day 2 and was fine. Looking forward to next year.
