The Paddle of Hope 2008
Burliegh Falls, Ontario •• July
25-27th, 2008
The Paddle of Hope is an inspiring adventure in
support for all of those whose lives have been touched
by cancer.
This is the second year for the paddle of hope which
is a 42 km paddle through the beautiful Trent Severn
Waterway. Day one begins on July 24th in Bobcaygoen
Ontario where twelve First Nations and Metis family
and friends will start this years adventure and
continue on until they reach Burliegh Falls, Ontario
on July 26th at noon. It will be three days filled
with laughter, tears and memories. The participants
are paddling in support of their family and friends
that are either living with cancer or for those
loved ones that have passed from this horrible disease.
We are not fundraising,
we are just seeking support from the communities
that we will be in. To have our supporters at
the finish line is a great feeling of accomplishment.
This event is open to everyone! If anyone is interested
in joining us on this adventure at anytime during
the three days please have them contact me directly
and I will let them know where and when to meet
us. They will need to provide their own canoe
as we do not have the resources to provide canoes
for everyone. I am hoping that we can receive
donated canoes for this paddle, if anyone is able
to provide us with a canoe for these three days
it would be a great help to us.
If you require any information
or if there is anyone interested in participating
in the Paddle of Hope please have them contact
me at stephaniec_metis@hotmail.com.
Thank you in advance for
your support.
