Take a walk...

....and make it count! This June 2010 my friends and I are going to be participating in one of the 3 Ottawa-area Relay's for Life. We are pumped and are starting our fundraising now. Our team captain Kate has already got the major ball rolling and we are receiving a very generous donation to our cause from her workplace. Thank you to Newell Physiotherapy for the help!!!!

When you register to participate you are asked to set a fundraising goal for the team, and we have decided our goal is to raise $3,000 to go to the Canadian Cancer Society. It is our sincerest hope that we surpass this, but $3,000 is something we feel we will be proud of. :) Any amount to the cause counts and we will have fun working together to meet our goal. We've already got a list of fundraising ideas and events that we will be using in the coming months. We are going to succeed :)

My life has thankfully not been directly touched by Cancer, but I have close friends and extended family who have. The more we can do to help the research continue and to help the cause, the better. It all makes a difference, not only the funds but the emotional support we can give each other. We have named our team in the memory of our friend Eddy's mother and we will be walking in her name. Angels for Alice are ready for a great challenge.
