Relay For Life

I would like to extend a Huge Thank You to everyone who supported us in the Relay for Life. We had many supporters through online donations, our spare change jar at the centre, those who donated to & shopped our Garage Sale & those who offered kind words of encouragement. Our team 'Circle of Light Disco Divas' raised just over $4000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. We also won best theme at the event for our disco themed campsite & our team creatively decorated in disco wear. For photos you will have to visit our Facebook page. Last Friday we walked all night until 7am Saturday morning. We laughed, we cried, we danced, we sang, and we celebrated those who had fought and survived, offered support to those still struggling and honoured the memory of those who are no longer with us.
It was a beautiful, touching, and inspiring event and I feel truly blessed to have taken part in it and feel especially lucky to have walked (danced around) the track that night many times with my 'soul sisters'. It was really nice to experience the relay in Waterdown with a smaller intimate group of community members. There were live bands and wonderful food & support for the walkers. The next day we were all exhausted but still smiling.
Thank you again for your support!
Love,
The Disco Divas! (aka. Darcie, Pat, Tara, Linda B., Linda A, Maddie, Kim, Desiree, Tara, Jodi, Kendra, Leanna, Sydney, Teresa, Kerri)
