38 days and counting!
TEAM BIANS gearing up to hit the streets in 38 days to support the 30,000 to 70,000 Nova Scotian families living with brain injury!
The physical training is not the only activity well-underway by our TEAM Members. They are also busy fundraising — and they need your support to help BIANS reach its fundraising goal of $15,000. Sponsor the TEAM or support an individual team member.
Also, it’s not too late to join TEAM BIANS and get in on our first fundraising draw — Kicking Into High Gear: A chance to win a one-month Family membership to the Dartmouth Sportsplex.
It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3
1. Register for the Bluenose Marathon.
2. Click on the Charity Challenge icon on the right-hand side of the page, find the BIANS logo, click on that and join the team.
3. Raise $100 by midnight, Friday, April 15th and your name goes for the draw.
Be part of 2011 TEAM BIANS as we run, walk and wheel during the Blue Nose Marathon to support those touched by brain injury in Nova Scotia.
