Walkers, runners, all ages take to the track at Masich Place Stadium
More than $370 thousand dollars was raised on the weekend through the the Relay For Life as hundreds of people made their way around the track at Massich Place Stadium.
There were all sorts of activities taking place at Masich Place Stadium as part of the Relay for Life including a centre stage with music, candle light walk, and candles of hope in the stands.
Some, like the members of Family Tae Kwon Do, not only raised money ( more than $8 thousand dollars) they also put on a demonstration for the crowd. At right, one of the members takes flight as she breaks a board!
