II 11. 2<x>.i · pstge C l Relay fo r Life raises $380,000 By Wilma Blokhuis O A K V ILLE B E A V E R S 'lA F F Luminaries lit the way around the track as walkers and runners took steps towards finding a cure for cancer. Every once in a while, participants stopped to look at a luminary, burning in memory of a lost loved one or in honour of someone who is currently battling can cer. Inside each of the 4,500 luminaries was a piece of wood, cut to fit exactly into the bag, with a routed out hole to fit the candle. These pieces of wood, which can be used year after year, were a dona tion from Peter Menger and his family Lynn. Andre and Adam. This contribution is just one of hun dreds of gifts that helped O akville's sec ond annual Relay for Life, a 12-hour overnight event held Friday and Sunday, raise $380,(XX) for cancer research. "And. if last year was any indication, the money w ill trickle in for the next few weeks and we have a good shot at hitting S-MX).(XX)." said Glen Herring, who is retiring as Relay for Life co-chair after two years. The relay is a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society. " I'm thrilled. It was such a huge suc cess," said Mary' Ellen Frederick. Relay for Life coordinator for the Oakville Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society. " It was a meaningful event that raised a significant amount of money, and it was wonderful seeing the faces of the sur vivors in the Survivors Victory Lap."
