The annual CIBC Run for the Cure in Vancouver returned on Sunday after a two-year pandemic pause.
Thousands of runners and walkers showed up for the event, which took place in downtown Vancouver at Concord Community Park.
Among those running was a group of forty-one female firefighters from around the province.
“Firefighters are at greater risk of getting cancer, simply from the carcinogens and the things we are exposed to in our workplace,” said Jenn Dawkins, a Vancouver firefighter, cancer survivor and participant in the run.
“I am so excited that we have 40 firefighters out here (on Sunday).”
The group of firefighters is with Fire Service Women BC, a non-profit organization that aims to support women in the fire service industry.
The event’s goal is to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. Those that organize the event said they have raised over $13 million dollars through their runs.
Funds raised go towards helping thousands of people get breast cancer treatments, providing wigs, headwear and breast prostheses, as well as community support and research, according to the CIBC Run for the Cure website.

In the matchup that brought them together on Sunday night at the “Allianz” stadium in the eighth round of the Italian League for the current season 2022-2023, Juventus easily defeated its visitor, Bologna, 3-0.
With a strong shot to the left of the Bologna goalie in the 24th minute of the game, Serbian Filip Kostic gave Juventus the lead.

Dusan Vlahovic, a top player for Serbia, scored Juve’s second goal in the second half in the 59th minute with a header that was just to the left of the visitors’ goalie.
In the 62nd minute, Polish striker Arkadiusz Milik completed the senior citizen’s hat-trick with a powerful shot that the Bologna goalkeeper was powerless to stop.
After losing one match, drawing two matches, and losing one match in a row, Juventus was able to turn things around.

In the Italian league standings, Juventus increased its score to 13 points and moved up to seventh place, while Bologna dropped to 17th place with just 6 points.

After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the annual CIBC Run for the Cure in Vancouver resumed on Sunday.
The event, which was held at Concord Community Park in downtown Vancouver, drew thousands of runners and walkers.
A group of 41 female firemen from throughout the province were among those running.
According to Jenn Dawkins, a Vancouver fireman, cancer survivor, and participant in the marathon, “Firefighters are at greater risk of developing cancer, simply from the carcinogens and the stuff we are exposed to in our employment.”
I am really happy that there will be 40 firefighters here on Sunday.
The group of firefighters is a part of Fire Service Women BC, a nonprofit with the mission of assisting women working in the fire service.
