Ladies Out Laughing benefits trio of charities to fight cancer continued from p.11 Funds are divided among the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre (One Walk to Conquer Cancer), Tour for Kids, and Wellspring Birmingham Gilgan House. "We hope to raise $90,000 this year," said Burham. "Our goal is to raise a cumulative total of $500,000 by our 10th anniversary in 2017." Thomas said she believes what makes LOL so popular is the fact it's an event exclusively for women in support of other women and their families battling cancer. "Although sad stories are shared and tears shed, through it all comes hope and laughter and a sense of purpose that we can help each other through this journey," she explained. "Sometimes, all that is left to do is laugh, pick yourself up and face another day, whatever that brings." It also resonates strongly with the Oakville community, noted Thomas. "... It is about women coming together behind a cause they truly believe in because it has affected the lives of their friends, family or neighbours," she continued. "Everyone has a story, everyone knows someone that has been affected by cancer and they want to make a difference and help fight and cure cancer in our lifetime."
