presented by Canon offers you a way to celebrate the women who inspire your
life.

Be...a Woman: Expressions of Life is a beautiful and inspiring book of
original photographs by Arline Malakian and prose by Kim MacGregor that
focuses on the universal themes of empowerment, resilience, courage and the
true beauty and inner beauty of women across the globe. This book is for
every daughter, mother, sister, grandmother, girlfriend, coworker and
neighbour, for every woman young and old.

When you purchase this inspirational gift book through the Mississauga
Marathon presented by Canon for the Mothers in your life you will receive a
special price of $25.00 and $10.00 from each book will be donated to the
Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada.

May will also see the launch of the Be..a Woman Award, which will honour a
woman who has inspired, empowered, and encouraged others by making a
difference. The recipient will be a reflection of the inner beauty found
in the book: she will be celebrated for her strength, her softness and her
life- for what she has endured and what she has provided. Share your
stories, nominate an extraordinary woman today!
