The third annual Base
Borden Run truly connected the
military, education and business
communities throughout Simcoe
County in an effort to raise
funds for the Operation Hero
Scholarship. The scholarship is
given to family members of military
personnel pursuing an education
at Georgian College.
Student and Operation Hero
Scholarship recipient Jennine
Collier told the crowd of 650 runners
what it means to her to be from a
military family and how important
the scholarship is to her studies.
Her brother Sapper Brian Collier
was killed in Afghanistan in 2010.
She was among other scholarship
recipients and student volunteers
who helped the race run smoothly
alongside key organizers.
Thank you to the event
organizers: Barrie Construction
Association, Canadian Home
Builders Association Simcoe
County, Georgian International
and Canadian Forces Base
Borden.
The run raised $31,024, bringing
the total raised to date from all
Base Borden Runs to $78,824.
The 2013 run will take place in
October. Visit www.operationhero.
ca for more information closer to
