Cancer is a disease that has impacted everyone and every year there are many fundraisers that are held for cancer research and treatment.

The family of the late Glen Kendrick has been dedicated to raising funds for Expanding Community Cancer Care in Russell for quite some time and they are putting on another fundraiser this year.

“We’re not exactly sure how many years we’ve been fundraising for cancer, but the first time we did it as a family team, was as Team Kendrick in the Relay For Life in 2008, in Roblin,” said Betty Dayson. “At that time, the money we raised went to CancerCare Manitoba.

We tried to do something every two years and then in 2012, we did a walk and the money we raised went to the Russell Chemo Unit. This was around the same time that plans were being discussed to renovate and expand the Russell Chemo Unit.
