THE CURE Childhood Cancer Campaign, a major programme initiative of Optimist International has taken on a life of its own in the Caribbean District as it should. Chairperson Pat McLean who has been leading the initiative for a number of years is expressing thanks to the District committee and all the organisations and individuals who continue to give full support to the events staged under the CCC banner. The relationship with the Bustamante Hospital for Children is growing stronger each year and so too are the events staged by the committee. The annual Brunch & Fashion Show comes to mind and, of course, participation in the Jamaica Cancer Society's Relay for Life which is an all-night fun and entertainment vigil aimed at increasing awareness about cancer while celebrating survivorship.
Here is an expression of appreciation from CP Pat coming after the Relay for Life 2012 edition:
Greetings fellow Optimists,
On behalf of the Childhood Cancer Committee, I would like to thank all who took part in the Jamaica Cancer Society's (JCC) Relay for Life. It was a wonderful night of fellowship even as we honoured the survivors and remembered those who passed.
The Junior Optimist Octagon International - JOOI Cancer Conquerors were out in their numbers. There were about 50 members. WOW!! They had a ball. Special thanks to Optimist Clive Savage and CP Lisa-Gaye Anderson along with other members, family and friends who supervised and fed our young Optimists.
Thanks to CP Claudette who was early at the venue to begin the decoration of the tent and to LTG Hyacinth and PP Dottel who came along later. Thanks also to CP Latoya who dealt with our t-shirts; and all will agree they were quite nicely done.
Last but not least, to the members of the Optimist Club of Sunset Kingston, who volunteer each year to work in the survivors tent making sure they are registered, fed and comfortable. You guys are AWESOME. The beautiful and informative posters in the tent were all done by CP Valerie. She was with me all the way giving advice and helping to coordinate. Thank you CP Valerie you too are AWESOME. Blessings.
