October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and back home it's something that most people are well aware of. However, in our past years here it hasn't been as prominent of an idea and so Phil, Nory (ha!) and I decided to organize our own little "Walk for Breast Cancer" (spontaneously, like two days prior to the walk!). I decided it should be called PINKTOBERFEST - a term I heard on the news! - and it entailed wearing pink (always fun), walking in the beautiful sunshine (always enjoyable), and having coffee afterwards (a morning-must!). I was hoping to secure some pink helium balloons for Nory's stroller but as I told you in the last post, that mission turned out unsuccessful and we had to continue on without them!

| Even people who aren't stereotypical "morning people" showed up! WAY TO GO! |
Pink balloons aside, the event was a super one. We had 12 walkers total (including Nory!), the weather was perfect (in the 20's!) and we managed to raise over $300 for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Even better - this number is expected to increase with donations turned in after the Eid holiday! Talk about a giving group of people :)

| Walking along the water is SO relaxing. It's one of my favourite things to do here when the weather is cooler :) |
A big thank you to Emily for taking all of these pictures and another big thank you to all of our donors and participants!!! You didn't just contribute to a great cause, but you helped us in teaching Nory to be an active and caring little lady! THANK YOU!!!! xo
