The warm weather is still a ways away but that doesn’t mean we can’t prepare as the Northern Cancer Foundation announced the launch of the second annual Cancer Centre Walk/Run for Hope.

Vice President of Cancer and Clinical Support, Mark Hartman says participants can choose to put their money towards any of the 13 funds involved, supporting patient care, equipment and research.

New this year will be a kids area as well as a training program launched four weeks before the event for anyone who wants to get in shape for the 1, 3 and 5km races.

Last year’s event raised 25 thousand dollars and the goal is to surpass that this year.
