Question Title

* 2. We had a little competition between the 3 Water Aid Stations! Can you tell us which station was the best? We are looking for things like: who had the best energy, the best music, the best flow to their station!

Beaches Water Station Rocked!

For me it was the Water Resource Station at Marine Park! (Only Half Marathoners)

Nothing beats the Water Station at Fort Vancouver/Pearson Air Museum at the bottom of the big hill!

Comment

Question Title

* 12. We would love your feedback regarding how we distribute donations. How would you prefer donations to be distributed?

I would like all the money to be donated to a national organization that has the greatest potential to positively impact the early detection, treatment and research to find the cure for Breast Cancer like Komen, the National Breast Cancer Foundation, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation etc

I would like all the money to be donated to a local Breast Cancer charity like Kearney Breast Center or Pink Lemonade Project so that all the money will directly impact women in my community.

I would like you to split the donations between a larger, national organization and a local charity. (Note - this is what we currently do.)
