Friday’s fundraising event for cancer research and awareness, organized by the Canadian Cancer Society, was a huge success. The Society’s event has become so popular there are now multiple, same-day locations in Toronto: Forest Hill Memorial Park and Centennial Park. On the 25th June two more Relay for Life events will be taking place in Scarborough and North York.

The events run all night long, ending just past sunrise the next morning. And they raise hundreds of thousands of dollars.

As a photographer it’s a touching event to cover. It’s admirable to see many superhero-volunteers donating their time and experience to make these events successful. Everyone at the Relays has been touched, somehow, by cancer.

By the end of the evening, as the luminaries are being lit, there are a lot of teary eyes, some with happy tears, some with sad tears. But, all filled with hope because every year research progresses and one day a cure will be found.
