Chapleau holds highly successful Relay for Life

Pat (Purich) Russell, one of my great friends from Chapleau, who keeps me posted on local events, sent me the following message about the recent Relay for Life held in the community.


Pat also provided the photos.


She wrote: 


"Hope you are well. Our 4th Relay For Life June 17th was truly the best Relay yet...


It's totally amazing what a little town like Chapleau can do and how as one big family we pull together to fight back against the one disease that has touched so many of our lives. 


We've had 3 successful Relays for Life since 2008, but Relay 2011 seems to have topped them all. 

Here's to Good Causes, Great Ideas and people willing to give both. Cheers!
