www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Thursday, May 29, 2014 | 20 New Relay for Life Halton is this Friday at Appleby College Relay for Life Halton is set for Friday (May 30) at Appleby College. The new event, which goes until midnight, as opposed to overnight, is a condensed version of the Canadian Cancer Society's original signature fundraising event, which raises funds for cancer research. The modified format allows those who enjoy all aspects of the relay, but can't commit to the 12-hour time period, to participate says CCS Halton Unit fundraising co-ordinator Shelley Frank. "Not everyone can stay up overnight and it doesn't mean they're not appreciative of the cancer journey," she said. K a r a s t a n A r e a R u g s "They might have young kids or be seniors or perhaps they're still undergoing cancer treatment." Teams of 10-15 people are encouraged to fundraise and gather at the independent school on Lakeshore Road West beginning at 7 p.m. to take turns walking laps in support of the CCS. Andy Jelinek, director of service learning at Appleby College, said the school is thrilled about continuing its tradition of supporting the Canadian Cancer Society event. "Our school adores the event. It has a long institutional memory with the school and the students look forward to it every year," · M i r a g e H a r d w o o d she said, noting this is the 13th year the school is sponsoring the fundraiser. On event day, between 2-4 p.m., the school will host a "serving learning aspect of the event" for its students as a precursor to Relay for Life. "We have (a station on) the importance of nutrition related to cancer, we have someone speaking about toxins in the environment, we have survivors speaking about their experience, the opportunity to build a healing labyrinth for people to walk through and we have the ability for people to ask questions about cancer," said Jelinek, noting students will walk through 18 stations. The event is being organized by a group of 18 Grade 9 students who have been working "feverishly" since March Break. Relay for Halton is one of four relay events in Halton. The others include: · Relay for Life Burlington on June 6, 7 p.m.-7 a.m., at Bronte Creek Provincial Park, 1219 Burloak Dr. · Relay for Life Milton on June 13, 7 p.m.-7 a.m., at Milton Fairgrounds, 136 Robert St. · Relay for Life Oakville, June 20, 7 p.m.-7 a.m., at Sts.
