Outrun Rare

A HUGE shout-out to Dave Proctor! Dave is running across Canada next Summer (June 22, 2018) in hopes of raising $1 Million for Rare Disease. His son Sam suffers from a rare disease and he is hoping his record breaking run across our beautiful country will help raise awareness and much needed research dollars for Rare Disease.

Dave will be running for 66 days consecutively, averaging 108 KM a day. His record-breaking epic run will be 7200km long!

Please like or follow Dave on Social Media. This simple gesture holds so so much value to his campaign. Every Like or Follow is incredibly important to his campaign right now.

#DaveOutrunsRare #RareIsEverywhere #1in12 #OutRunRare2018

Dave (@xcanada4rare) needs our help right now to help make it happen.

He has a goal of 10,000 followers by Christmas Day. The more followers Dave has the easier it is to get corporate sponsors to donate.

Please forward this email and spread the word to everyone you know - let's create an amazing community of support for Dave and Sam.

Running May Be Good for Your Knees

Some excellent research showing that running is, in fact, very good for your knees. They measured a biomarker called COMP, which generally accumulates in diseased knees and is often used as a marker of arthritis. This study showed a shift in their COMP levels and that a 30 minute run "squeezed" this compound out of the knee joint and into general circulation. Further evidence of the many benefits of running.

Our most recent research has been published investigating pain function and strength differences between males and females with patellofemoral pain (PFP). We conclude that clinicians should consider subgroups: males benefit from hip extensor and external rotator exercise and females benefit from hip extensor exercise.
