Help us Run WILD for Food and Farmers in 2012!                                

Calgary, Ottawa, Victoria, Toronto….

Are you a Runner or a Walker?
Are you looking for a way to have some healthy fun with family or friends, and make a contribution to a cause you believe in? Then, we may have just the right thing for you!

After a very successful 2011 campaign - many thanks to everyone who ran, walked or donated! – USC Canada is expanding our Run for Biodiversity campaign to 4 cities this year, and we’re looking for runners and walkers to join our R4B fundraising team in 2012!

If you’d like to support USC’s work with seed-saving farmers in this way, please send an email to David Rain at R4B@usc-canada.org.

Here’s our R4B plan for 2012:

• Calgary, May 27: marathon, half-marathon, 10km, 5km, kids marathon.
• Ottawa, May 26-27: marathon, half-marathon, 10km, 5km, 2km, kids marathon. NB: Ottawa races are filling up fast, so don’t delay! The half-marathon, 10km, 5km and 2km races are already sold out!
• Victoria, Oct 7: marathon, half-marathon, 8km, kids run/marathon.
• Toronto, Oct 14: marathon, half-marathon, 5km.

Why Run for Biodiversity?
Each May 22, USC joins millions of people around the world in celebrating International Biodiversity Day, as well as World Food Day on Oct 16.

Biodiversity is all about food and farmers. It’s the earth’s life-support system, and nature’s brilliant insurance policy against disaster. If something fails, there’s a back-up plan: Biodiversity! Much is at stake for us all, and in a real sense, USC is helping farmers plant the Seeds of our very Survival

Thanks for Making a Difference!
Thanks to your generous support, USC Canada is able to help farmers grow more food for their families, in ways that our kind to the environment and nurture biodiversity.
