Draft Pick
|
yyc woman wants to be first to do what?! :)
Hi everyone,
I was the first Canadian woman to run marathons at the South Pole and the North Pole. So what's my next goal?
I want to be the first Canadian woman to run an ultra-marathon (250 km over 7 days) through each of the Four Deserts! (Sahara, Gobi, Atacama, Antarctica) No Canadian woman has ever finished this series, so I want to be the first!
A company called Genuine Health is looking to sponsor one Canadian's athletic dream. They are holding an online vote. There are about 10 finalists from across Canada in this voting contest. I am the only Calgarian on the list. If I can get the most votes by August 31, the company will sponsor my runs!
Please take a second to vote. Just click on this link and click the vote button.
http://www.genuinehealth.com/innerchampion/linh-huynh/
or ( www.runthedeserts.com)
It's that simple, no registration or info required.
You can vote DAILY from different devices (phones, PCs, tablets) and voting ends August 31. Thanks so much for helping me make history!
Cheers,
Linh Huynh

 Jihads never turn out well for first-posters! Such circumstances do provide great fun for the rest of CP, though!

I get really rattled when I see first time posters do this stuff. Are they really part of the CP community, or just want to use the opportunity for a bunch of extra votes.

The only Calgarian? Karsten Millman's profile says he's from Calgary. He gets my votes.

As an alternative jihad for those who do not approve of self-promotion among first time posters, may I suggest a hijack of Rock The Rog?
The Canucks will be picking the 20 finalists this weekend, the winner gets to sing the anthems a capella. If there's anyone truly terrible in that 20, I think we should try to help them torture 20, 000 Canucks fans for a couple of minutes.

How can you run at the poles? The South is too cold, and the North is under water.
