Capital hoedown was here and gone (no stage collapses) and the Cancer Foundation raised over $4000 with the guitar raffle thanks to the generosity of the folks here in Ottawa.
It was the 30th anniversary of the Xerox 10k run on Tuesday, August 16. There was a good crowd that came out and the mayor kicked things off. We certainly appreciate that funds were raised for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. We really do live in a wonderful community.
Registration opened up for two of our fundraising events. Grape Stomp on September 25 and The Nordic Walk for Cancer SurvivorshipTM on October 30. These are two wonderful events and remember that the funds are used right here in our community to improve cancer survivorship careTM.
Every week there are a few things that change here at the centre. The infrared Sauna is now in its home in one of the therapy rooms of the healing corner. Infrared sauna rays are waves of energy totally invisible to the naked eye, capable of penetrating deep into the human body, where they gently elevate the body's surface temperature and activate major bodily functions. The rays expand capillaries which stimulate increased blood flow, regeneration, circulation and oxygenation.
We also received a beauty of a BBQ donated to us by Romantic Fireplaces and BBQs in Orleans. It is quite the BBQ and will be used for a variety of activities at the Centre.
I'll keep you up to speed as things continue to progress.
