"Run for the Cure"

I wanted to write this blog last Saturday itself, but was not able to write due to my busy MBA schedule.

Last Sunday, I participated in the CIBC “Run for the Cure” 5K marathon. This main objective of the run was to create awareness and raise funds for cancer research. The run started in the year of 1992 by a small group of volunteers to create the awareness of Cancer. Many big corporate houses also participate for this noble cause and the names include the biggies of CIBC, Ford, Revlon etc. We managed to raise $ 26.5 million throughout Canada in a SINGLE day. All for a noble cause!!

The run was followed by a brunch session with some consultants of McKinsey, who also participated in the run. We went to a restaurant called “Richtree” . The restaurant was simply superb and the spread was fantastic. We ate all we could. The combined effect of the run and the sumptuous food made me to sleep for the rest of the day!!

The bad part was that I had my accounting and Stats quiz the next day and I screwed up in both of them. Need to pull my socks and work really hard. Can some body help me in balancing my MBA life and non-MBA life? Please….
