Mr. Speaker, Mushing for Miracles is a community based campaign consisting of dogsledders from Ontario, Manitoba, and even Italy. They are on a 1,200 kilometre trek through communities in southern Manitoba to raise money for cancer research and camps for children with cancer.
I wish to thank Bob Draward and Doris Prefontaine from Lorette and all the people in the participating communities such as Lac du Bonnet, Whitemouth, Hadashville, Richer, Steinbach, St. Pierre-Jolys, Morris, Altona and Lorette who made financial contributions to make the challenges of young cancer victims less of a burden.
I want to let those children know that they are not alone in their battle. The people of Provencher are there to stand with them.
