Cops For Cancer 2012
We have again been asked to continue our
participation in the Cops for Cancer Ride that will
take place in September 2012 by donating quilts
for the 'buddies.
The dates have not yet been confirmed for this
year's ride, but I will pass on more information
regarding dates and ages of the children as soon as
I receive it from the Cancer Society.
Bright and cheerful, unisex quilts approximately lap
sized (45” X 60”) are suggested but all sizes are
accepted as children of all ages are affected by
cancer every year. The riders each carry a photo of
a buddy, a child affected by cancer either in
treatment or in remission, that they will represent
during the ride. The quilts are given to the
buddies at the ‘Kick Off’, at the opening
ceremonies to the ride.
Members are encouraged to attend the opening
ceremonies if possible and I am sure those members
who have attended in the past, will tell you how
touching it can be to be there.
If extra quilts are collected they are carried by the
riders to hand out to children in treatment who
come to meet them.
I plan to pick up quilts at both guild meetings in
September, but will gladly accept them earlier from
members who wish to participate in this worthwhile
cause. If there are questions please contact Carole
at 604-274-2206 or by e-mail chando@shaw.ca.
Thanks!
Carole Hando
