Cancer Drivers

FIGHTING cancer is a full-time job, and as many survivors will tell you, it takes the strength of ten men/women to get it done. No one knows that more than this group of individuals who dedicate their own personal time towards helping those in need. Last Saturday, Sam and Liz Lilley hosted a thank-you get together and barbecue in the backyard of their North Van home for the North Shore Cancer Drivers who tirelessly help cancer patients get to and from their treatment centres. It was a perfect evening and a great opportunity for everyone involved to get to know each other and share stories. Congratulations to everyone.

Have some cake honey. Hosts Sam and Liz Lilley graciously opened their home and backyard to everyone which made for a splendid outdoor event.
