Kudos! The DLAS Takes Great Strides at Bluenose Marathon

Posted by Schulich School of Law (Law Department) on May 30, 2014 in Kudos

The cloudy weather couldnā€™t put a damper on the 11th annual Bluenose Marathon and the DLAS team, Race Judicata. This year, The Dalhousie Legal Aid Society organized a team of 16 members ā€“ both students and faculty ā€“ who ran in every section of the race from 5 km to the full marathon at 42.2km.Ā 

ā€œWe are extremely pleased with the outcome,ā€ states Schulich School of Law student Patrick Cashin, who was one of the main organizers. The team was fundraising to support the Dalhousie Legal Aid Clinic and raised more than $2,600. Cashin and fellow organizer and student Gillian Angrove both competed in the full marathon.Ā 

ā€œWe were both in the Clinic during the winter and training for the marathon. We were looking for a way to give back to a place that was teaching us so much,ā€ says Cashin. And give back they did. In just a few short weeks, they rounded up a team and raised $700 in the first two days.Ā 

Everyone who participated had a great time running to support the Clinic, and Cashin hopes to see the team out next year. ā€œItā€™s amazing to see what Weldonites will do for a good cause, and we hope that this is only the first incarnation of team Race Judicata!ā€Ā
