The Relay for Life
2006 was held overnight
from Friday 23rd June to Saturday, 24th morning.
Like last years the event was held at The Brampton Fairgrounds
on Heart Lake Road.
Us Too! Brampton members played their part, turning out in numbers for the
Survivors lap and showing their support for the cause.

The event had all the characteristic hallmarks of what makes the Relay
for Life
what it is each year, featuring food and entertainment, live bands, movies
and other night long activities.
The kids activities area was well organized complete with Petunia the
clown,
arts and crafts, face painting and host of other team activities keeping
them
involved and entertained.
Jim Dorsey, our Relay Team captain was seen in his sparkling PT Cruiser
which he had
volunteered for the Relay's car parade.
The scene was filled with emotion as the survivors walked the victory lap,
marking
the start of the all night relay, cheered on by thousands of family
members,
well wishers and supporters. Compared to last year the weather was
much cooler making it a very pleasant evening albeit a somewhat chilly
night.
As the sun set on the Relay for Life Camp it really dawned on the fight
against cancer.
Luminaries lit the track by the thousands attended to by family, friends
and well wishers.
Well no one really knows but one can suppose that the fight will go on for
as
long as it takes - till the battle against cancer is won.
Our thanks to all those who came to the event and to
the Us Too! Team members who stayed and walked all night
