The Chicken Suit

So....I have decided to enter into the 2010 MS Walk/Fun Run in Sydney and thought it would be a good idea to try the 8KM (5 miles for any American friends) run, which for the record will be the longest distance I have attempted to run. Ever. By I would say around 7.5KM.

Originally I thought a goal of $500 would be a respectable amount to try and raise, and then 2 things happened. Within a day, I was already half way to my goal, and one of my friends who made a donation made a comment that he would double his donation if I did the run in a chicken suit. It started to make me think that I might be able to raise a little more for a great cause so I have set a new goal. If I raise over $1250AUS and I will do the run in a chicken suit. If you want to support me, please have a look here . Every dollar counts!

Now why am I mentioning this on a hockey blog? Well for 2 reasons. Firstly, because I can. And second, because this is a cause that also affects me as I was diagnosed with MS around 8 years ago, although was aware that I possibly had it since I was 16. Thankfully, I have a very mild case, but there are thousands of others out there who have MS who are not as fortunate as I am. So to throw a little bit of a hockey theme into the mix, I have a Team Canada jersey that I am pretty sure will fit over the chicken suit which I will also wear on the run. And I will also be sure to have some photos posted from the day!
