2010 Toronto Marathon/”5k Walk/Run"

On October 17, 2010, The Robert & Maggie Bras and Family New Drug Development Program proudly participated in the 5K Walk/Run held by The Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation in association with The Toronto Marathon. 

The Bras New Drug Development Program had 23 participants who collectively raised $11,846.00!  Maggie Bras was in the lead and raised over $5,000.  We walked together on a gorgeous sunny morning in support of new drug development to fight all cancers. 

Everyone has their reason for raising funds for this insidious disease and we, the Bras Family, walked in memory of Robert Bras who fought his cancer bravely for over three years. There were many laughs, huge smiles, maybe a few tears, and a ton of energy during our walk.  Many ideas were bandied about on how to make this event an even greater event in the years to come.

The Bras New Drug Development Program will be participating in this event on a bi-annual basis and we wish to thank all our participants and supporters for donating your time, effort, money and for believing in our cause.

Sincerely,

Leah Lambrakis Bras
