2014 Mother's Day Run & Walk

For the second year in a row, the MRU Cougars women's soccer team will be participating in the Sport Chek Mother’s Day Run & Walk on Sunday, May 11th.  A handful of the Cougars entered the 10k run last year, with some players looking to set a new best time, and others just hoping to cross the finish line!


This year, the team has decided to run on behalf of Luci Tansley’s family friend, Rochelle.

Rochelle, a gym teacher, has been battling brain cancer for the past year. The Cougars are running in honor of Rochelle and the example she sets for the importance of physical activity and education.

Money raised from the run will go towards the Forzani Foundation and the Calgary Health Trust.
The team hopes to raise $500 in honor of Rochelle. You can donate online here

Team MRU will also be running alongside some very special people this Sunday... Some of the player’s moms!

It’s going to be a great morning (fingers crossed the weather holds out). Good luck to everyone running! And if you feel like the finish line is too far away, just think about the fantastic breakfast that waits for you afterwards (oh, and how awesome you’ll feel accomplishing that 10k)!
