Attention PEI RoadRunners...
Prince Edward Island Marathon EXPO
RoadRunner Booth Volunteers
If you are interested in volunteering to person our RoadRunner booth
at the Prince Edward Island Marathon Expo,
please visit our new wiki and either sign up yourself, or send Jamie an email.
The job entails making sure that our photos/slideshows are running, selling RoadRunner hats and memberships, and representing the PEI running community to all those who have come from away to be part of the Prince Edward Island Marathon.
~*~
PEI ROADRUNNER WIKI
The intent of this site is to provide members of the PEI RoadRunners Club with the opportunity to share information,
photos, videos, recipes, or any other content
that they think might be beneficial to other runners.
The Wiki is very easy to use and edit.
Anyone can add or modify content on this site, however, you do have to request access to edit the Wiki (you only have to do this once).
Wikis (like Wikipdeia) are all about collaboration, and I would like to open up our traditional web site to make it more responsive
to the running community on PEI.
I hope that a few of you will give it a try!

Running FOR Autism, not AGAINST it. Why we don't support Run The Dream
So, there's this guy..... who wants to run across Canada... (Okay, as the mother of a guy who wanted to run across his Province, I can relate...) So, he goes looking for a "cause" to raise awareness about and funds for, while he runs. His research brings him to Autism (or, more precisely, ASD - "Autism Spectrum Disorders"). Again, I can relate. Our Autism Celebration Run was about fulfilling Alex's dream to run across Prince Edward Island, to raise awareness about Autism (ASD) and to raise funds to benefit our Island's autistics .
The similarities between Alex's "Autistic Celebration Run" and Jonathon Howard's "Run The Dream" Run appear to end there. Alex ran FOR Autism, Mr. Howard is running AGAINST Autism.
Mr. Howard, while admitting his life is untouched by autism, is out to inform "Canadians who have been spared the burden of dealing with Autism" that autistics are a "burden for the rest of their lives" to our parents, family members, teachers and social support groups. He wants to "promote a unified and effective approach in Canada to dealing with Autism, and ultimately preventing it or finding a cure."
It appears obvious from those sentiments that when he decided to pick autism as his cause he decided not to talk to autistics about it. In fact, my email to him, CC'd to every one of his Team members, has gone unanswered. Meanwhile, two different Provincial Autism Societies have cooperated to get a message to Alex asking if he's like to join Mr. Howard on his run when he's on PEI.
"Why would Alex support anyone who considers him to be a "burden" and have a wish to prevent people like him, his brother and his mother from existing?" I asked. Again, no reply.
Despite its claim that "We promote public understanding and acceptance of people with Autism", my Provincial Autism Society is supporting Mr. Howard and is planning a "Meet & Greet" for him. Yes, the PEI Autism Society donated $500. to The Autistic Celebration Run. We've thanked them before and I thank them again. As well as directly benefiting from Dennis Debbaudt's Autism Safety Training Seminar , the parents who make up the PEI Autism Society can take comfort in the fact that PEI's Law Enforcement Agencies, First Responders, Medical & School personnel and Early Childhood Educators were also trained in Autism Safety, Recognition & Response . This education remains ongoing in Police Departments, at the Police Academy, The Firefighter Training Academy and Holland College Paramedic courses etc, etc. The only meeting & greeting that happened with PEI Autism Society Executive was not during Alex's 14 day run, despite numerous invitations, but occurred, informally, when members of the Executive Board and others attended the free Autism Safety Training Seminar we presented with Dennis Debbaudt. We did meet a couple of people from the autism community who had read about us during the Run but contrast that to the outstanding support we got, monetarily & morally, from the Running community.
As well as the three free Safety Training Seminars, resources, in the form of training videos, picture communication cards and autism wallet cards were put in the hands, vehicles, detachments and trainers of PEI's Law Enforcement & First Responders. Every school age autistic child on PEI was given a wallet card as well.
Thanks to PEI's media - CBC Radio & TV, The Western Graphic , The Journal Pioneer, The Guardian and The Eastern Graphic (a number of times), good, positive, awareness about autism was spread across PEI.
Our message and purpose was discussed, throughout the entire planning stage, with a good number of autistic individuals. We also talked to parents and family members. Our message of highlighting ability, while recognizing disability, of demonstrating potential, and discussing appropriate supports, services & education, was supported by the autistic population.
Mr. Howard's message, that we are a lifelong burden and should ultimately be cured and prevented from being, while it may be shared by some big parent & professional run Autism Organizations, is not supported by Alex & I nor by any autistic individuals we know. This kind of social stigmatizing will do none of us any good. As well, his contention that autistics are a burden is simply not true.
If there is a single member of The PEI RoadRunners Club who believes Alex is a burden, please seek me out at the next run you're at and tell me that. I genuinely want to try to understand your reasoning. And, if you believe we are all such a burden, explain why your Club's executive saw fit to honour Alex with an award for Inspiring fellow members and me with an award, acknowledging my helpful, voluntary, contributions. If you honestly believe that people like Alex & I should be prevented from being, please inform and enlighten me. That is absolutely not the impression the PEI RoadRunner's membership has given me these past 4 years.
If you feel a need to support someone running for autism, and you want to keep the funds on PEI and benefits autistics, The Runman Fund is still open. (If you want to fund an autistic-friendly National or International organization, ask me, I can recommend a few). Write a cheque to "The Runman Fund" and take or send it to The PEI Council of the Disabled. I promise you it will be put to good use. Although every Police vehicle and Ambulance has a picture communication card, our extra funds ran out after supplying only one of every three Fire Department vehicles. We would very much like to supply the other 2/3 as well as the schools and medical personnel who have requested them. Still, what we accomplished was well beyond what we had hoped to. Alex fulfilled his dream of running across PEI, we raised awareness, our message was heard far beyond just PEI and inspired others, we brought Dennis Debbaudt to PEI and presented 3 free Autism Safety, Recognition & Response Training Seminars and had money left over to put resources in the hands of the people who should have them.
We do not support Mr. Howard's "Run The Dream". Why would Alex support anyone who considers him to be a "burden" and have a wish to prevent people like him, his brother and his mother from existing? Would you support someone who felt that way about you? As much as I wanted to like and support this guy who wants to run across Canada in the name of autism, I cannot support his harmful message.
If you ever ran behind Alex prior to August 2006, you might have read the message on the back of his T-Shirt, it's the same message that's on the bottom of every race post he blogs -
As a postscript, yesterday Karen McCarron was sentenced to serve 36 years in prison for murdering her autistic daughter Katie. What was the message Karen McCarron got that caused her to so want a life without autism that three year old Katie paid the ultimate price? Mike McCarron, Katie McCarron's grandfather, felt abandoned, offended and betrayed by "advocates" parading their "horror stories" about autism. Paul McCarron, Katie's father had a message of his own upon hearing the guilty verdict -

Today is the United Nations declared World Autism Day.
Some things done in the name of Autism Awareness can, in fact, be quite harmful to autistics. Listen to the message. Do you actually believe it? Does it help autistic people? Would you repeat that message to our face?
Would you want it said about yourself and/or your loved ones?
Be aware.

PEI RoadRunners April Schedule
I slept in this morning. It will be the last time I'll be sleeping in on a Saturday morning for a long time - the PEI RoadRunners race schedule gets underway in earnest next Saturday morning. Alex will be running almost every weekend from now until October, sometimes twice a weekend.
A major dilemma lies ahead on July 26th when both the Cox & Palmer Run in Charlottetown and the Potato Blossom Festival Run at the Mill River Resort in Woodstock both start at 9am. He has run the Potato Blossom Festival run since 2004 and greatly enjoyed the first running of the Cox & Palmer run last year. It will be interesting to see which one he chooses.
This year, April in fact, he's hoping to run his first race on the mainland. We nearly made it last year and again this year the Grande-Digue 15K is on our calendar. Race organizer, Sylvio Bourke, goes all out in putting on this race and I'm hoping nothing prevents us from attending this year. Sylvio should be over here to run one of our races before his race on the 27th.
Here's what's on the PEI RoadRunners April Schedule:

Try the Shoes - Get the Socks (Free!) - Friday at Sporting Intentions
Folks can come in to Sporting Intentions, get fitted in the latest New Balance 1223's and they can take them out for a run. Idea being, an extended run gives you a much better impression of the shoe than just trying it on in the store.
Stan Chaisson from PEI In Motion will be there as well and he'll bring along the Foot Disc for anyone who hasn't tried it yet. The Foot Disc is a state of the art thermal foot pad that indicates foot pressure points and foot type. It's a quick and easy way to get a proper running shoe recommendation and gives you confidence and peace of mind in knowing you made the right investment.
Look for the Sporting Intentions, New Balance and PEI In Motion booth this weekend at the PEI Marathon Health & Wellness Expo for lots of great running product and training information.
The PEI RoadRunners will also have a booth at the PEI Marathon Health & Wellness Expo. Jamie is looking for volunteers to help "person" the booth... the schedule is on the PEI RoadRunners Website, as is Jamie's contact info if you can help out.
Alex & I will be working the registration desk Friday night and most of Saturday. If we don't see you then to wish you luck, Best of Luck everyone, have a good run, good fun, and make yourselves some great memories to take away with you.
Alex says that he is running the Half Marathon for the last time and next year will be moving up to PEI's Full Marathon. Training with Stanley and his PEI in Motion group the past few months has not only been good fun with good friends but has had an obvious impact on his performance. After setting personal bests in various distances this year, and especially these past few weeks, he's looking to better his 2004 PEI Half Marathon time of 1:40:50 on Sunday.
He'll also be carrying all the stats of all his friends, the PEI RoadRunners, and past PEI Marathoners & Half-Marathoners in his head and you'll be able to find him after the run at the finish line, cheering on runners and hovering around Atlantic Chip Timing's trailer awaiting each new sheet they post on their wall. He'll know in a glance if you've run a personal best for this race (and for many of you, if it's a career PB) and just how well (or poorly) your run went as well as where you may have had any problems. He'll be looking to make sure Stan repeated as winner of the Half and hoping to see lots of Island runners qualified for Boston.
Best Luck!
