I will be participating in our Walk for Life this June. It will be my first one as well. The Foundation has turned this into a weekend event for the whole family with entertainment etc. The first night is the Survivors Walk followed by the lighting of the Luminaries around the track. Anyone can purchase a Luminary in memory of someone who has lost the battle or who is fighting the battle or survived the battle.
I helped with the Daffodil Sale this year and enjoyed that very much. We managed to raise $31,687.00 to be used for Research, Public Education Programs and Patient Services. I hope we will do as well with the sale of the Luminaries. I should add that this money was raised between 2 small cities in the South East part of the Province. The total population combined is about 16,000 people.
Like Larry I'd love to hear about others doing the same thing and your experiences.
