Support the Calgary Fieldhouse - an indoor track facility in Calgary

Conceptual plans call for a fieldhouse with a 400 meter indoor track.... but not for 10 or 12 years from now. The timing can change if there is enough public support.

We invite you to watch the video below, then go to the website to see how you can help make this much needed facility a reality in a shorter timeframe.

To Support The Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada

Using the power of the group, we could easily raise close to $38,000 for the Brain Tumor Foundation of Canada. If each runner raises only $75.00 (ask 2 friends, 2 co-workers and 2 family members to donate) we could make a big difference to the Brain Tumour Foundation.

Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada is a national, not-for-profit organization dedicated to reaching every person in Canada affected by a brain tumour with support, education and information, and to funding brain tumour research.
