The Temptation Kindness for Cancer run went ahead today and was a great success with 480 runners. Many thanks to forum members Laura, Tori, Kathy and a special mention Trina (CancunFun) who came 7th in the women's 5K! Over $5,000 USD was raised. A check for 35,000 Pesos was presented to Grupo Desafio a Cancun based charity. This money will provide free mammograms to the women of Cancun who need one but cannot afford to pay for their own. A check for 15,000 Pesos was presented to Paty de la Pena owner of Temptation to be put towards the charity that she runs which provides assistance to the people of Cancun who need it the most. There is some left over from the sum raised and this will be held and put together with future donations. Chinos asked me to pass on a huge thanks to everyone here who donated. Although the race is over for this year Chinos will be continuing to raise money for further help to Cancun based Cancer charities and you may donate at: http://www.cancuncare.com/kindnessforcancer.html Here's some pictures and video from the day: [ame=""]Temptation Race: Kindness for Cancer - YouTube Start of the 5K Fresh fruit for runners and spectators The live band Trina comes in 7th Check presentation Check Presentation [ame=""]Temptation Race: Check Presentation - YouTube
Steve, I forgot to make a donation before - can I make a donation when I see you on the cruise on the 26th?
Anyway to still make a donation and get a shirt? We willl be coming next week? Just wondering what the wiining times were are the results posed anyplae?
Hi Steve the race was a great success. The band was awesome and I was happy to see Chinois cross the finish line.
We were very excited to be able to run the 5K race and spend a little bit of time talking with Chinos. We hope to be able to make this a yearly tradition. Steve, I saw you after the race and stared at you for a couple of minutes. I thought, man this guy looks so familiar. Having never met you I had no idea why. Finally after we got home the wife was going through the pictures on facebook and I finally realized it was you.
Results and times are posted at: Resultados | Marcate Re donations, you can still donate via Kindness for Cancer Donations or in person if you are on any of our cruises. I think there are some shirts left, please try and find Victor or Jose the Sports guys at the resort and they should be able to help out.
I almost said hello. Im still at the resort, so maybe I'll see you all tomorrow. I did see your wife and the beautiful kids I didn't want to intrude.
Glad to see it was a success an such a large event. Hope only the best for the cause + future events!
