Thank You & Happy New Year!

Every year we hear the same tune,

"So this is Christmas, and what have you done?
Another year over, a new one just begun"

It seems to pause us into reflection and personally rewind the previous year's  experiences, and growth. With 2012 coming to a close, we look back on our 2DreamRunners inaugural year with pride, a sense of accomplishment and excitement for the new year.

What have we done?

It's always good to check in on your success from time to time, and reward yourself for your hard work. Our first year of 2DreamRunners was ambitious. Our goals were to:

1) Establish our purpose.
2) Develop a web presence
3) Formulate and execute our 2012 campaign.

Our campaign was to embark on fundraising for the Make-A-Wish Foundation B.C and Yukon. We also planned to train for and participate in 3 major events to drive our personal goals and raise money for Make-A-Wish.

So how did we do??

Our purpose is to help make dreams come true through the positive energy of health and wellness.

We have created a solid web presence with our blog and Facebook. Our blog has had just under 1200 page views of our 20 blog posts from Canada, USA, Russia, UK, Germany, Ireland, Italy, South Korea, France, and Malaysia!

On Facebook, we have 135 friends from around the world-THANK YOU for joining with us :)

1) We completed the Vancouver Marathon- Barry did his first full marathon while Karen did a half marathon.








 2) We completed the Sinister   7 ultra relay in a team of 6







3) We completed the Dublin Marathon which was Karen's first full marathon where we also had the pleasure of meeting one of our mentors, Stephen Price.

 In our Make-A-Wish campaign, with the help of many generous friends and family we raised $579 for Make-A-Wish B.C and Yukon. While we didn't get anywhere near our goal of  $8,000, we have helped Make-A-Wish by increasing awareness of what they do and raised enough to contribute to the granting of a child's wish.

We did accomplish all of our running goals combining for over 3,000 km of running and collecting a raft of medals, memories and runner's highs. Both of us ran our first marathons and with our team completed one of the toughest trail ultra-marathons in the world.

2012 was epic!

2013 is right around the corner and we have some very exciting plans and expect it to be another awesome year. We'll be posting our 2013 plans very shortly.

Until then.....

"Another year over, and a new one just begun.

 Let's hope it's a good one full of happiness and cheer!"
