Kevin’s walk for the cure raises over $43,700 and counting…
“I don’t know if I can say. It’s been amazing,” he says. “I knew today was going to be emotional for sure. When we hit the Main Street cutoff I felt it there. There was a woman there that was on her way to get chemo, and she wanted to be there to give me a hug and when I saw my family. Amazing. Just amazing.”
CIBC Run for the Cure co-director Melanie Gainforth says Kevin’s outstanding support of the run dates back to 2011.
“He’s dyed his hair. He has painted his nails, he wore pink pants for 30 days,” she says. “But this is a whole other level. It’s in his home. But it’s in his heart to give and it’s been so beautiful to watch the City of North Bay stand beside him with every penny they have.”
The CIBC Run for the Cure takes place on Sunday, Oct. 6.
On Oct. 17, the North Bay Battalion will wear pink warm-up sweaters, with all proceeds from the jersey auction supporting Kevin’s walk for the cure.
