More than $55,000 was raised during a weekend relay for life event in La Ronge.
Teams got sponsors and then spent 12 hours walking laps overnight at the Mel Hegland recreation.
When it was over participants were tired but happy.
Event co-chair, Deb Thome says it was quite an accomplishment.
“To raise that kind of money means that people just had to work that extra little bit, give that extra little push, knock on that many more doors and it was phenomenal actually.”
The money raised goes towards cancer research as well as support for survivors and caregivers.
