Over 150 people -- and quite a few dogs! -- turned out for the annual CIBC Run for the Cure in Dwight this year.
Nancy gets handed the microphone at this event, and does her best as MC to keep it rolling. She gets a lot of help from the volunteers, and the folks at CIBC and CBCF (Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation) who organize the run. And she gets a lot of help from the people who come out to jog or walk the 5 km. route.
The route runs from the Community Centre along the front of Dwight, right next to the lake, and winds up to the top of Buttermilk Hill, just past the historic Stewart Memorial Church. It's a beautiful trail, and if you are in the area next year, you might want to write this into your calendar.
Ernie Martin came out to act as the Pace Car with his certified Chick Magnet, a 1956 Meteor 'Niagara'. Ernie used to race Meteors professionally, but couldn't bring himself to soup this one up for racing. He uses it, instead, to cruise, mainly at classic car shows. He did 'pick up a chick' on this drive, but since it was his daughter, we're not sure that counts, Ernie!!
For a small community, Dwight does itself proud. With partipants joining in from Huntsville and the area, over $35,000 was raised to support Cancer Research.
Wow.
