Women from across East Wheatland came together on Sunday from 10am to 8pm at the Rockyford Community Hall to Create for a Cure as they participated in a fun afternoon of scrapbooking and visiting.

The afternoon event was organized by Shelly Neal and Patti VanBavel, two members of Magical Moms a Relay for Life team. Magical Moms, is a relay group that was organized a few years ago that consists of eight members: Christie Meyers, Amy Hampton, Dallas Stickel, Michelle Wilson, Kari VanEaton, Dawn Kalbhen, Shelly Neal and Patti VanBavel. They have joined one of the biggest Cancer events that make the biggest difference in finding a cure. To date the group has raised just over $1500 for the event. 

The Canadian Cancer Society group states that the event has become far more than just a fundraiser, but rather “Relay for Life is an opportunity to get together with family and friends and celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost to cancer, and fight back in the hope of finding a cure for this terrible disease.

“Relay is fun, fulfilling, and peoples’ participation gives strength to their mission toeradicate cancer. Walk with them in this inspirational 12-hour overnight event as they come together and fight to make cancer history.”
