Prince George, B.C.- They said they wanted to do something special to mark  Breast Cancer Awareness month, so Firefighters Mike Holliday, Kip Skaar and Sherrie MacIvor planned  to sell  some pink T-Shirts to  folks in the communty throughout the month of October.

They had hoped they would sell  500 shirts,  but they  nearly doubled that goal, selling 920 shirts and raising $6796.52 for the CIBC Run for the Cure.

"We had a lot of help from  the citizens and corporate  Prince George" says Holliday, who says stores and businesses got on board the campaign and sold  shirts for them to staff and customers.

"This is a  significant donation" says Run for the Cure Prince George organizer Rene McCloskey.  "This donation will put our 2012 run over the $90 thousand dollar mark, it is very much appreciated."
