A Thank You

thanksThis past Sunday we held our 3rd Annual Walk for Thomas in Calgary.
We were once again overwhelmed by the attendance, and welcomed over 350 on a brisk Sunday Calgary morning.  We raised over $27000, all of which will be going again to the Thomas Mueller Phage Display Project.

We were thrilled to welcome Diana Birrell, Executive Director of The James Fund, to our event this year.

This event simply wouldn’t be possible without the outpouring of support from our volunteers and our participants as well as the following sponsors:

Dairy Lane

Master Meats

Semmens, Forbes & Wood

Queen Elizabeth Elementary School

Gravity Espresso & Wine Bar

Little Rock

Majestic Tent & Event

4 Cats Studio

Cuisine Chateau

Premium Sausage

Dialog

Critical Mass

Todd Audio Visual

Spolumbo’s

Unique Blend

Bite Groceteria & Cafe

A Corporate Expression

Group 2 Architecture

From all of us, Thank you so very, very much.

We will be hosting the 3rd Annual Walk for Thomas on Sunday, October 20th at Queen Elizabeth Elementary School in West Hillhurst, Calgary (402 18 St NW).

We were overwhelmed by the generous outpouring of participants last year, and had over 250+ participants. Thanks again to the extremely generous offerings from our kind sponsors and volunteers.

Similar to the past 2 years, the morning of October 20th will go as follows:

9:00am Wake-Up Refreshments

9:45am Welcome and Warm-up

10:00am Depart for 3km Walk

11:00am BBQ (back at the school)

We will have Peloton 65/Walk for Thomas merchandise for sale and will also be accepting donations at the event. If you cannot make the event and still wish to donate, please feel free to visit the donation page. All funds raised at the event support The Phage Display project, an innovative project being co-led by Dr. Paul Beaudry at the University of Calgary and Dr. David Kaplan at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.

We hope for another special Walk, where people will gather to remember Thomas and to unite again in the fight against neuroblastoma.

Thanks again and here is hoping for sunshine on the 20th!
