la Bruxelloise and women jogging to benefit Bordet










The day was perfect, yesterday, September 25, for the Urban Women Jogging, organized by la Bruxelloise in Ixelles (Brussels) in and around its Place Flagey (pic 2) and its magnifcent ponds.
Madame A Cambier (pic 6 in pink), president of the "Friends of Bordet" explained that the event event benefits the Jules Bordet Cancer Institute (pic 5) of Brussels which celebrates this year the 25th anniversary of the Breast Clinic. 
Local dignitaries, mayor Willy Decourty and cabinet members Dominique Dufourny (pic 6) and Nathalie Gilson (pic 7) encouraged the runners, walkers, nordic walkers and strollers from the podium. 
Lots of sun at this end of September day, lots of participants, lots of enthusiasm, tons of photographers..and an interested public along the way. The Sunday morning fishermen (pic 10)  did not mind being disturbed in their weekly quiet time at the pond.. 
....no complaints yesterday.

    Wonderful to have a perfect day for such an important event. Hope that it made lots of $ for reseach. Didn't see much pink apparel which is the colour here to identify cancer victims, sympathizers, and friends.

    Dankjewel, Bieb

    True Diane .. I love this wonderful weather at the end of September. Feels like summer still which I find great because not at all ready for fall yet.

    Yes, Kate, I hope they made a lot $ ! There was pink,, many pink bracelets also.. only the pictures do not show it that well...many other colors too though like the armstrong yellow bracelets for instance.

    Hi Léia, thanks for your visit also, glad you like the blog... and Brussels.

    Thank you, it's me ! :-)

    Sylvia, thanks for the comment, wishing you a great week too.

    Nice comment from a great blogger like you, Genie

    Thanks Leif

    Oui, Jacques, les modèles féminins ne sont-elles pas toujours coopératives? Merci pour le commentaire.

    Grazie Gio', contenta di scoprire anche il tuo blog

    Bella manifestazione sportiva. Piacerebbe anche a me riprendere a correre, ma dopo l'incidente al ginocchio non posso più farlo perché sembro un'natra zoppa. Posso però marciare veloce tenendo le gambe tese. Ciao ed a presto.
