Thompson residents raise $165,0000 for cancer research

Residents got together this past weekend to raise money for cancer research.

 

The Cancer Society’s Relay for Life saw 27 teams brave the 12 hour walk relay.

 

Organizer Donna Wilson says those teams raised over $116,000. With another $50,000 from gifts in kind, the Thompson relay raised a grand total of just over $165,000.

 

Throughout the night, local musicians entertained participants.

 

Organizers also hosted the Relay Head Shave, during which time several participants had their heads shaved to raise extra money for the charity.
