www.insideHALTON.com · OAKVILLE BEAVER Thursday, August 30, 2012 · 22 Garage sale to support CIBC Run for the Cure An Oakville family doctor and cancer survivor is asking residents to support her CIBC Run for the Cure team by attending a local garage sale at 2119 Elmhurst Ave. on Saturday, Sept. 8. Funds raised during Dr. Alexandra Ginty's garage sale, which will run from 8-11 a.m., will assist the team Bye Bye Boobies in raising funds for the run. The money will go towards cancer research, education, awareness and advocacy initiatives. The 21st annual Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation Run for the Cure will take place on Sunday, Sept. 30 at Burlington's Central Park, located at 519 Drury Lane. Registration for the run begins at 7:30 a.m. with the run itself kicks off at 10:30 a.m. For more information about Run for the Cure, visit www.runforthecure.com/site/ TR?fr_id=1429&pg=entry. During her Sept. 8 garage sale, Ginty said she and her supporters will be dressed in pink. Ginty said going through cancer was the toughest journey of her life. She now blogs about the experience at www.facingcancer.ca/bothsides/. "My patients and colleagues never gave up on me and now I open my heart to them, understanding patients at a whole new level," she said. UPSTAIRS G Adventures has one of the highest quality operations in the Galapagos and is upgrading its fleet for 2013 with the acquisition of three 16-passenger motor yachts ­ Daphne G3, San Jose G5 and Queen of the Galapagos G8. The upgrades have been made to provide an improved customer experience and to future-proof the fleet ahead of customer demand and new regulations. The new vessels have larger and more comfortable public spaces and will offer the best wildlife viewing and onboard service. Each of the new vessels caters to a slightly different market: the G3 is the most affordable standard-level option; the G5 is a comfort-level vessel and the G8 provides an even more deluxe experience. G Adventures will continue to use its Javier G4 comfort-level vessel, a firm customer favourite to makeup a fleet of 4 vessels. G Adventure's operation in the Galapagos is unique as the company only books customers on its own vessels. As well, the company staffs the vessels and employs its own naturalist guides, all of whom understand G Adventures core values and customer expectations. Itineraries for the new vessels include: a six-day Voyage Galapagos ­ South Islands standard-level trip aboard Daphne G3 from Quito return; a seven-day Voyage Galapagos ­ South Island comfort-level trip aboard San Jose G5 from Quito return and a 10-day Deluxe Galapagos-Northern Islands, or Deluxe Galapagos South Eastern Islands deluxe-level trip aboard Queen of Galapagos G8 from Quito return.
