On Monday we held our first fundraising movie night at the Cineplex Odeon Sheppard Centre (courtesy of Cineplex Odeon) on February 6th. One hundred people joined us as we watched 50/50, a Golden Globe nominated movie about a young adult’s journey through cancer.

This movie was not an easy one to sit through, especially for someone in my position, but I believe that it is one that should be seen by everyone. People must realize the plight of the young adult with cancer, and their special circumstances. I think that everyone who left that theatre, had a different perspective to life.

I would sincerely like to thank Cineplex for making this evening happen. We were able to educate a new group of people about the work of Alli’s Journey. To our door prize donors, Mark Lash Jewelry, Shaynee’s Fine Gifts, TIFF, and Cineplex Odeon, thank you. To Howard Orfus, thank you for being our refreshment sponsor.

We have many events in the works, so please stay tuned!

Thanks for your continued support,
Pam

Syrelle (L) and I, Jacquie (R) walked the 5K for Alli’s Journey at the Scotiabank Waterfront Marathon on Sunday, October 16th and arrived at the finish line after one hour.  It was very moving to join the thousands of people, families, people in wheelchairs, many decked out in costumes and all for a cause close to their hearts.  It was a lot of fun!

In fact, it was so much fun that we are going to be making this an annual event for Alli’s Journey! We are already planning for next year’s walk/run and want you to be a part of our team! More details to follow….
