Mass's Fantastic Ass...
...runs its first 10k!
I'm participating in the Vancouver Sun Run this year as an actual runner - been training my butt off for fourteen weeks, from couch to 10k, and I'm finally ready. The race is this Sunday, April 23rd. Doing a last minute round of fundraising; hopefully some of you can toss in a few bucks.
Remember, America bux are worth 1.4x more in Canada bux so your donation packs more punch than it feels to your wallet!
I'm supporting Ronald McDonald House, a charity which provides a place to stay for families of children sent to hospitals far from home. This personally touched my family last year when my cousin's baby was born with a heart defect requiring surgery out here in Vancouver, they had to come all the way from Winnipeg and spent the first few weeks of his life here. All went well, baby is happy and healthy and a year old now :-)
The other one is BC Cancer Care, pretty sure Cancer has effected all of us in some way; I have family battling it right now, friends with parents who are as well.
Any support is appreciated! Thanks everyone

Title makes a promise. Thread fails to deliver.
It's a good reason to always be in second place.
Butt I threw some AmeriBux in anyway.
If I hit my donation goal I'll post a pic of my ass crossing the finish line
YES IT WORKED
Ass for a good cause. Man I shoulda tried this on Facebook maybe people woulda donated. XD
So based on the exchange rate, USD can currently cure cancer in Canada at a rate of 1.35 to 1. You can't beat that!
POOR CHOICE OF WORDS
I mean, that is basically the only reason Patreon generates revenue...
Final time 1:01:32! I am super pleased with my result. Fourteen weeks paid off. Thanks so much for your support guys.
Big thanks to those who donated because I did beat one of my fundraising goals! Turns out it's hard to get an ass shot while crossing the finish line though, instead I have my face crossing the start line
A flash of my bright pink undercarriage in this group photo at the finish.
And this shot of me in front of Chipotle with my company shirt and awesome leggings
Congrats!
For some reason you look like you are 3 feet tall in that last photo.
That's what I thought! I assume this is because the person who took it is like six inches taller than me so the angle is his perspective lol
The Vancouver Sun Run was today and I beat my previous time with 59:42! Soooo I've signed myself up for a full marathon. 42.2k... two weeks from now. As usual, I am participating as a charity runner, and any support is greatly appreciated :-D Wish me luck!

...wait, you're a Canada? O.O
Also, congrats!
Here we go! Less than 24 hours remaining. Got my race package yesterday. Weather is looking pretty good. Partly cloudy, 13C (55F) at start (830am pdt) going to a high of 22C (71F) by noon.
Something called rtrt is supposed to be posting my progress on facebook at every checkpoint tomorrow - like every half hour or so.
Should be a beautiful run, hoping I'm not to pooped to enjoy the view. XD
Crushed it. :-D
