Thousand take part in annual CIBC Run for the cure

Nearly six thousand people in Ottawa joined tens of thousands across the country Sunday morning to fight breast cancer.

The annual CIBC Run for the Cure is the largest, single-day, community-driven breast cancer event in Canada.

"Wouldn't it be great one day if we didn't have to run this race, ever, because there was no breast cancer," said Catherine Marion, the Ottawa event's honorary co-chair. 

"But for now we have to run, and we have to raisefunds so that's why we're all here today."

Many participants are running with loved ones in mind, including mothers, sisters, and friends who have at one time been diagnosed with breastcancer.

Laureen Harper is a regular participant.

"When you hear the stories it makes you think there’s no excuse for me not to get out here...it’s a lot of fun," she said.

Curtis Milobar is running for his mother, a two-time breast cancer survivor.

"I's become a tradition, so it keeps us closer together, and reminds us to be thankful that she's still there with us, to be our mom every year," Milobar said.
