The Galas at the Gala

It is party night!  Everyone frocked up in the name of pink and made our way to Evinrude Centre - Hockey place.  There were two hockey fields decked out and ready to take on about 2000 guests.

Dinner was great and we were treated to a brief presentation by the inspirational Dr Don McKenzie. Iit is amazing to think that without his study in the 90's - none of us would be here today, celebrating life as we are.  Nor would we have met such amazing friends.  

This was followed by an inspirational presentation by breast cancer survivor Dianne Mowatt from Dragons Abreast Toronto.  Wonder Woman extraordinaire!!!

Once done - the buses came and took the party girls to the Memorial Centre for dancing and mayhem.

Thanks Survivors Abreast in Peterborough for putting on a great party!

  1. Great to see all your photos. Sorry you haven't heard from us but we've all been out at MadKays recharging at their beautiful property. Plenty of funny stories but as you know,'what goes on tour stays on tour". Fortunately the sub zero temps had finished by the time we arrived and the Towering Inferno bonfire helped keep us warm.
