This was my first time attending the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life that took place at Lyon’s Park in Brantford last Friday evening.   The mood was festive and there were hundreds of participants, both cancer survivors, relatives of survivors and relatives of those that lost their battle with the disease.  I had a chance to meet and speak with many of the participants, listen to testimonies of survivors, walk the track with hundreds of others and learn about the event and its impact in the community.

We arrived there at about 7PM  and there were hundreds there already.  It was a very colorful scene as people littered the track, the area in front of the stage and areas around the track.  It was nice to see the folks from BScene, Brantford’s local newspaper.

Relay For Life is a community fundraising event where Canadians across the country join together in the fight against cancer. In 2015, over 330 Relays took place across Canada.  Visit the Relay For Life website at www.relayforlife.ca

I wasn’t sure what to expect as I had never been to or heard of the Paris In The Park Festival.  So off we went.  There were several exhibitors and hundreds of people just over the short hour and a half that we were there.

Looking at the course itself, it seemed to me quite daunting.  There was a balance pole and a climb wall and tires to run through and what seemed like a simulated trench that required you get on the ground and crawl through.  It was fun to watch as several people took up the challenge from very young kids to teenagers.

This was a mini version of the major mud run race happening in September this year in Paris, Ontario.  For information about the War Horse Warrior Challenge or to participate, visit www.cancer.ca/warhorse.

Could not ask for a better day!
