Charbonneau to be on treadmill for 24 hours - straight by Hilary Caton Special to the Beaver Teacher on the `run' for HWP He says he chose to support Halton Women's Place because, "I felt it was a good time of year to help out these families." He has set no specific fundraising goal -- he just wants people to "donate what they can" via the Halton Women's Place website. One goal he has set is the total distance he wants to run by 9 a.m. Sunday. "I'd like to go beyond 100-miles (161km), I think it's possible... I'll be a bit disappointed if I don't get that," said Charbonneau. He plans on take five-minute breaks periodically to use the facilities, but intends to eat and drink on the treadmill. Charbonneau has been training for a few months for this fundraiser by popping into the 24-hr gym at different times to get his body accustomed to running at midnight, or "really early in the morning" for a couple of hours. He welcomes the challenge. "It will be painful, but it's nothing compared to what some of these victims had to go through," said Charbonneau. "So it's my motivation, it's only 24-hours of discomfort versus who knows (for how long) what some of these families have to live through." Charbonneau and his wife will be taking donations at High End Fitness gym during the fundraiser and encourage those who can't make it out to the event to donate to Halton Women's Place via its website, www.haltonwomensplace.com. 15 | Friday, December 13, 2013 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com ENTERTAIN WITH ELEGANCE.... EXQUISITE HOLIDAY HORS D'OEUVRES Oakville high school teacher Vincent Charbonneau will run on a treadmill for 24 hours straight Saturday Dec. 14 to raise money for Halton Women's Place (HWP). "I'm a runner, that's my thing," said Charbonneau, who teaches at Sainte-Trinité. "I've done races of 100 miles (161 kilometres)....but never indoors and never on a treadmill." The 43-year-old has been running for 13 years and has participated in 90 full-marathon races. He prefers to run outdoors -- and never listens to music while doing so. Yet he will be singing a different tune Saturday at 9 a.m. in Burlington's High End Fitness Gym, 355 Plains Rd. E. There, he'll be "getting reacquainted with his playlists" as he runs for the charity of his choice. The Treadmill Fundraiser involves two teams. Team Vince consists of Charbonneau alone, while Team Joanne is composed of his wife Joanne and a few surprise guests who will be showing up hourly to run opposite Charbonneau. "I have no idea what the schedule is so it'd be a neat surprise to see who comes. I have a feeling people will be coming from different backgrounds, some family, some running friends, some colleagues," said Charbonneau.
