80KM FOR 80 YEARS

As many of you may know, our Nonna, Rina Manarin, is an absolute ball of fire. At the youthful age of 80, she walks at least 10,000 steps daily, even if that means doing laps around her dinner table on a rainy day. Needless to say, her Apple Watch has become her pride and joy. Unfortunately for us, it didn’t take her long to discover that she could track our activity level as well. From that moment forward, she hasn’t hesitated to let us know that we’re “falling behind Nonna” – a text we get daily.

In celebration of Rina’s 80th birthday, we thought it would be a fitting challenge to follow in her footsteps and (maybe) beat her daily activity for once! So, on Saturday, September 26th, we will be running 80km each to raise money for a charity of her choice. Rina has chosen to donate the proceeds from our run to the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation in honour of her sister, Pia Colantonio, who passed away in 2014 from cancer.

Please support us in this fun, crazy challenge in celebration of Nonna – 80 years young! Any donation is greatly appreciated, no matter how big or small.
