Thank you!
We're well on our way to our fundraising goal!
But we need you to help us reach $150,000.
More than 300 "movers" of all ages, abilities, speeds and sizes participated in Run, Walk & Roll events during May 2006. We laced up our shoes, revved up our skates, tuned up our wheelchairs - and raised over $90,000 so far for a great cause - cancer prevention!
To all our supporters - and there are many! - a heart-felt thank you.
But we're not done yet.
We're determined to reach our $150,000 fundraising goal.
--- We will continue accepting donations.
--- You can sponsor participants online until the end of June '06.
In coming months we will be hosting other events. Please check back with us!

It's worth repeating again that well over half of all cancers are preventable. This is not just our opinion, but the belief of cancer experts from around the world. Click on Why Prevention? for additional information. Quite simply, prevention is the single best opportunity we have to beat cancer.
With funds from the Run, Walk & Roll, the building of a national cancer prevention coalition, Prevent Cancer Now, is already well under way; Angela Rickman of Ottawa has been named Executive Director, and the founding Board of Directors is in place. The book Cancer: 101 Solutions to a Preventable Epidemic (New Society Publishers) is just a year away from publication (March 2007), as is a national conference on cancer prevention. These are just three projects that have been supported by funds raised in the 2004 and 2005 RW&R events.
Thanks for joining us in Windsor, London or Ottawa! We look forward to seeing you in 2007!
Your Run, Walk & Roll Organizing Committee,
Janet, Loretta, Jim, Bonnie, Kim, Vern, Karen,
Kelly, Pauline, Wendy, Sarah, Liz and Dave
