Advancement from this meet to OFSAA required placing in the top four. Some of the team are also pre- paring for the District C Legion Meet on June 13 in Kincardine. Jen Wright Community Fundraising Specialist, Bluewater Community Office There's a motivational saying that 'it's not about the destination, it's about the journey: For Kincar- dine resident Melissa Bennett, there's no better way to describe her on-going cancer journey. Diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lym- phoma at just 27 years old, Ben- nett is still in remission but focus- ing on her studies to be a Registered Nurse. "I am hoping to be deemed Cancer Free at the end of this year," Bennett explains. "I decided I would love to help peo- ple the way I was helped while going through cancer. I have gone back to school and have been accepted into the RN program at Georgian College & York University." Bennett looks back on her jour- ney with gratitude for all of the support in her community, from cards and kind words to a hand- made collaborative quilt. She has taken this support and tried to return it, by taking part in Relay For Life in Kincardine. Bennett recalls her first Relay when she was asked to take part in the Survi- vor Victory lap. "I didn't think it was proper, because I wasn't in remission or cancer free," she says. "But the lady at the desk said, 'if you are fighting cancer you are a survivor!' and it's great to know you have an amazing support group by your side. Everything E 0 V N 0 V 3ud Aigili] BIG HERO 6 from a phone buddy with the same cancer you have that you can call and ask all the questions you want." Money raised from Relay For Life in Kincardine supports all aspects of the Canadian Cancer Society's mission to eradicate can- cer and enhance the lives of those living with cancer. This includes helping over 17,000 Grey Bruce residents access support - like Bennett did by talking to someone who's been through a similar experience - information, and safe rides to cancer -related medical appointments in 2014. Since two out of every five Cana- dians will develop cancer in their lifetime, Bennett urges others to participate within their communi- ties and help support those who may be going through what she has. As a Survivor, Bennett says, "I think it is important to be part of Relay not only for yourself, but for other people. You never realize how much you inspire others" Just as cancer can bring a com- munity or family together, Relay For Life's emotionally -charged highlights, such as the Survivor's Victory Lap and Luminary %sexy : 3, c.ursr LET'S MAKE CANCER HISTO€LY' k; wknrwa an abaci r�r►ar,, ,c. •.{C1 L1 AISJL j Ari i1 1 1 -61i6•939 -3331 s w w.canorrsa Ceremony, can also strengthen the fight back against cancer. Bennett describes her first Relay experience as, "overwhelming at first, with so many people on the sidelines who don't even know me, didn't know my story, cheering me on. The sup- port is amazing:' Relay For Life participants are saving lives by going the distance. Every step taken helps fund prom- ising cancer research, community support services and other impor- tant work so that fewer Canadians are touched by cancer.
