Riding Breast Cancer into the Ground!
Five hundred kilometres and twenty-three Alberta towns over twenty-three days – that’s what a committed group of horseback riders is doing this month. The ambitious ride, by a group calling themselves “Wild Pink Yonder,” is an ambitious effort to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars (fingers crossed for even more) for breast cancer research. Each riders pledges to raise a minimum of $100 for every day they ride. All of the money is handed off to Cancer Research Institute of Northern Alberta, which is the name coined for a group of scientists and specialists from the U of A collectively involved in learning more about this cruel illness. Wild Pink Yonder organizer and leader, Jane Hurl, is a breast cancer survivor. The disease took the life of her daughter-in-law. Wild Pink Yonder will be riding through portions of The Country Booster trading area. Their planned route will include fundraising events in Donalda on August 26 (community drive-in movie), a ride through Camrose on August 27 and a visit to Alliance on August 28. The Kinsmen Club of Camrose will be holding a steak dinner with proceeds being directed to the initiative. The local Elks and Royal Purple will be donating proceeds from their pancake breakfast. It’s your opportunity to help “ride breast cancer into the ground.” Visit www.wildpinkyonder.com for additional information.
