Mel, her cousin Maby and I volunteered for this year's 
Weekend to End Breast Cancer walk in Toronto.  My sister-in-law, Natalia, was doing the walk so we figured that a great way to support her would be to help her fundraise and to volunteer at the actual event.  Mel and Maby volunteered in food services, and I volunteered to drive a sweep van.  I think I got the easier job :)
All in all it was a great weekend.  I met lots of great people, and witnessed the incredible power of the human spirit.  For those who don't know, participants in the event must raise at least $2,000 (CDN) and walk 60km over the course of a weekend.  Young and old, men and women, able and disabled all were there walking to support this cause.  In the end, over $14.7 million dollars were raised for breast cancer research!  Good job everyone!  I'm defintely participating again next year, whether it be as a walker or a volunteer.
