My best friend is the store manager of The Salvation Army thrift store in Dartmouth so I got the opportunity this year to get into the fun!
Of course the Salvation's Army's efforts are already extremely nobel, this event really revs it up for the holidays to help assist families and individuals in need. My favourite part is the fact that they support local families so you know your money isn't going far.
For more information you can check out http://www.santashuffle.ca/ they do this all around the country!
Our team managed to fundraise $1,140 this year! For a team of 3 it was very satisfying and we won the prize for most fundraised in a team!
There's the trophy!!.. It's clear I swear it's there haha.
I was super pumped by the turnout there had to be over 1,000 people attending!
And for anyone who doesn't know me that well- Sports are really really really not my thing. You won't find a metal or a trophy for something sport related anywhere in my house! So at age 23 I finally received my first participation award! Definitely just a participation award... I walked the whole route!
Our team again! Since I was planning to walk the route I grabbed some sensible heels for the route... Still gotta be me!
I would have liked to see a bit more media around, but at least Radio 96.5 made their appearance! And look! we made their Facebook Page!
