What a lovely idea during a difficult time in the midst of winter. The Weekend to Conquer Cancer announced that in-person walks are returning for September. Over three days from Sept. 9 to 11, participants can choose to walk 15, 25 and/or 5 kilometres, starting at the Yonge-Dundas Square in Toronto. Local entertainment, food and drink, keynote speakers and souvenirs to commemorate the 20th walk will all be part of the experience. Gain access to the 5-kilometre walk with $150 raised, and full admission to all walks by raising $1,500. Children (10 years old and under) walk free at the 5-kilometre Sunday Stroll.
For those who wish to stay put, the virtual walk in your own community remains an excellent option. With a minimum of $150 raised, walkers will get a “hometown virtual kit” including a 20th event t-shirt and resources for their walk. A physical “hometown kit” comes with $1,500 raised. Can’t wait to hear what that is!
Registration is $50 for all except children 10 and younger.
Please visit the Walk site at https://weekendtoconquercancer.ca if you haven’t signed up yet.
Let’s walk together again (virtually or in person) to mark a milestone for us all!
Helping the homeless and hurting in our communities
The Butterfly of Hope team offers its support to others in need during the year, including through The Coldest Night of the Year for the most vulnerable. Walkers will participate in a virtual walk at the end of February to help raise funds for agencies who provide food, shelter, comfort and mentoring. Please join the Butterfly of Hope team (https://bit.ly/winterbutterfly), form a team in your own community, or consider contributing in other ways (https://cnoy.org/home). Thank you.
