We are a proud sponsor of Team Canada Diabetes.
To our valued customers and suppliers:
When one of our staff members Joan McLeod announced this year that she had signed up with, "Team Canada Diabetes" and would be taking part in a marathon in Iceland in August to increase awareness and help raise monies for research, we wanted to support her.
The marathon in Iceland, August 2008, is a new challenge for our employee. Contributing money for diabetes awareness and research is a new opportunity for Active Court Bailiff to give back to the community at large and get behind this good cause.
When I consider how many people in my life diabetes has effected I am shocked. Some of you may remember working with my grandfather, Jack McLeod. Most of you will have worked with my father, John D. McLeod. Both of these men struggled with diabetes. Many men and women in our industry continue to fight with this disease on a daily basis.
Let's pull together and make sure future generations don't suffer the same fate. Let's raise awareness and contribute to research. Together, we can make a difference for all of our families..
Thank you in advance for any level of contribution you or your company are comfortable in making.
To continued good health and prosperity in 2008.
John McLeod.
From all of us at Karma Publications - Joan Bennett, Andy Gifford. We wish you the best in your marathon in Iceland, August 2008 .

Reykjavik, Iceland 2008 - 'The Fire and Ice Marathon'
Indulge in the ultimate Icelandic adventure sparkling glaciers, lava fields, hot springs, outdoor spas, thunderous waterfalls...
The world's most northern capital city, Reykjavik is clean, crisp and refreshingly distinct. Most of Iceland’s popularity is due to its natural features that include glaciers, hot springs, geysers, active volcanoes, fjords and vast lava deserts.
It also boasts the nearby Blue Lagoon - Iceland's most famous bathing experience. Reykjavik Cultural Night, which coincides with the marathon, attracts nearly half the Icelandic population to downtown Reykjavik. Complete your marathon and then celebrate all night in the streets of Reykjavik!
Picture Yourself Walking or Running Across Iceland....in the Reykjavik Marathon!
The Reykjavik Marathon is a unique opportunity to travel to one of the most remote yet visually stunning regions on earth. The Reykjavik Marathon offers a Full Marathon, Half Marathon, and 10k Run/Walk.
This course, which is largely flat, follows Reykjavik’s beautiful coastline. The marathon starts and finishes in the heart of downtown Reykjavik. All Finishers for the Full, Half, and 10k receive customized medallions for their efforts. Team Diabetes stays in a hotel close to the Start and Finish Line.
