Michellie's friend Francesca who is a few months behind Michellie in recovering from the same cancer as Michellie raised over $55,000 with her team for the first Light the Night walk for Cancer in Halifax. Here are some pictures and her mom's email this morning. This is one special family, and Francesca's energy is an inspiration. We were touched to be included in their tent, and for Michellie's postcard to be posted as well.
"Light the Night was so incredible. I hope you will be able to walk one year. I have attached a picture of how beautiful it looked. Francesca was amazing. She gave a beautiful speech to the 1000 (!!!) walkers... I don't think there was a dry eye. We were so proud of her. Lots of nurses from the IWK were there. They loved seeing Michellie's picture in our tent too. You were all in our hearts. The Halifax event raised over $250,000, had over 1000 walkers and broke the record for the biggest most successful first walk ever. The turnout was so inspiring. The event filled me with hope."
