Terri Biloski of St. Thomas Ontario will be embarking on one heck of a journey on November 10th, 2012. Biloski might be small in stature, but what she lacks in size, she makes up for with quiet determination. She began running to relieve stress as a teenager, which kick started a life that revolves around running.
Biloski will be trekking 161 kilometres otherwise known as 100 miles in a commendable effort to raise money and awareness for The Huntington Society of Canada. This tour will take place on November 10th (World Run Day) through Elgin County. She is aiming to complete this task in under 18 hours, which is approximately 6:30 per kilometre.

Biloski’s family has been hit hard by Huntington’s, and she admits that she is literally running away from the disease. “There is evidence that being more active can delay the onset of Huntington’s”.
The statistics say that 1 in every 7,000 will develop Huntingtons disease. The statistics also say that there is a 50% chance that a child of a parent with HD will also develop the disease.

I wish Terri the best of Luck.
This feat is amazing and the cause is honorable and I hope this makes a million.dollars.
Other stuff going on within this group is despicable. People looking the other way while affairs are going on between married people, wrecking lives and families. I cannot look the other way any longer. I run with this group and this is supposed to be for the love of running, not the other stuff going on which has other members of the group talking among themselves.
As said, I am a runner in the group and do not want to give my name but the affairs and activities displayed in public between married people is sickening and against what I and my God believes in when it comes to marriage.
