The clock tower struck at 9:30 and the bells rang loudly while the crowd cheered RUN 4 A CAUSE, RUN 4 A CAUSE!

We were blessed by the brilliant summer weather which created a magnificent Run/Walk experience.

THANK YOU for believing in #‎RUN4AC & celebrating the charities you support.

WE made an impact by coming together as a community. A community that demonstrates leadership in supporting causes that affect us all and raises the bar to create awareness & make a difference. I’m blown away with your passion and commitment and your belief in my vision.

The following charities were awarded donations to their causes:

1st Place – Ronald McDonald House ($1000)

2nd Place – D.I.F.D ($500)

3rd Place – High Jinx ($250)

4th Place – GoodGuys Tri ($250)

Also a big thank you to the other charities that showed up in their colours and created awareness for such important causes:

• i2P
• Team Diabetes (Ottawa U)
• Ottawa Humane Society
• Forum for Young Canadians
