For Aunt Jo

We will be thinking of you as you participate in the Relay for Life . It is such a terrific event, a true celebration of life, hope and the memories of loved ones.
Their team name is Positive Thinkers and they are participating at the Belleville - Loyalist College event being held today!!!

Here is what Jo had to say:

Thanks Mel and Scott for your good wishes. I will be spending the night walking with Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Gerry in memory of Rob and honouring Gerry's winning the battle with cancer! It will be a night filled with laughter and tears and lots of hugs!
Our team has raised over $3000 and thanks to great sponsors I have raised over $900! The goal for the night is $300,000. There will be approximately 120 teams of 10.
I will send a report tomorrow letting you know how much we raised for cancer research and how far I walked!
Thanks again for your love and good wishes
Love ya both
Aunt Jo

We made it! I walked more than 20K over night and I'm sure Bonnie and Gerry did too! It was quite cold but dry so we could handle that. The Relay made a total of $402,000 this year, which is very exciting. There were 2800 luminaries lit around the track, burning all night. That is quite an overwhelming sight!
Thanks again so much for your support.
Love to you both
Aunt Jo
