Here’s something maybe everyone can help with…”Jog 4 Joe” on November 15th!” Last year on this very same day Brad Byrne lost his father to cancer. He was diagnosed at the end of October, completely unexpected, and less than 3 weeks later he was gone. Treatment was not an option and the speed that it took him was disgusting. Six months later Brad’s son was born and he was a dad for the first time.
It breaks Brad’s heart everyday knowing that his son will never meet his incredible grandpa. Brad wants to help support an organization working to fight this terrible disease right here in our community. Along with supporting the Windsor Essex County Cancer Foundation, Brad will be collecting donations for the food bank to fill the shelves for the upcoming winter.
Do your part, join in the 62 km jog—for part or all of the way…or drop off a canned good to the Lakeshore Community Services Food Bank!

It's not too late to sign-up to jog, walk or sponsor Brad and watch this great event. All proceeds will benefit our newest program with the Cancer Centre Foundation - Seeds4Hope, a local research grant program.
