Louise Etapp Neeposh and I participated in a very special event June 1-3 called “The Weekend to End Breast Cancer.” It involved a walk of 60 kilometres, and it took place over the course of one weekend with thousands of other women and men.
I was very motivated and determined to follow through with this important event. All the net proceeds will support the Breast Cancer Research and the Services in the Ottawa/Gatineau area. My goal was to raise $2,000 due to the short time frame and I succeeded in raising $2,571 in 10 days.
This journey was personally in memory of all women who have lost their lives because of breast cancer and to the children and families who have lost their loved ones. Another goal was to give support to women who have survived breast cancer.
A colleague from the Cree School Board survived breast cancer and it was a joy to see Emma Mianscum and her family at the ceremonies of this event. As a nation if we all come together we can make extraordinary things happen. Giving from the heart and putting a smile on someone’s face is a great joy in life.
A million thanks to all of my supporters. You made this walk a success with your generous donation. You were always in my heart during the walk as well as in my mind.
Thanks to my family for their love and support and to Reggie Neeposh for driving us back and forth to the site.
Congratulations!!!
