Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life (Scarborough)

Scarborough’s Relay for Life took place between Friday night and Saturday morning. I had the opportunity to participate as a volunteer at what was truly an amazing event. It was very moving to see the first lap of the track taken by Cancer survivors. Helping out with the luminaries was something that really touched me because each one represents a life either lost, or fighting cancer. When the lights went out and the only light in the dark night came from the candles in the luminaries and the word “HOPE” it was clear to see the impact Cancer has had on the 800 or so participants.

 

The Canadian Cancer Society’s Scarborough Chapter did an amazing job of putting this event together. Both the food and entertainment were great as well. I am grateful for having the opportunity to participate and look forward to next year’s events. The pictures below are some that I took on Friday night.
