Sharbot Lake Hope Swim 2010

Theresa, Becki, and Katie Procter, sisters who were born and raised in Sharbot Lake are asking for your support in their efforts to make cancer history. The Canadian Cancer Society has given their approval for a swim event to help raise money to fight cancer. On Saturday, July 31 at 2 pm, the sisters will enter the water at the Sharbot Lake Provincial Park docks and make the 3 km swim to the township beach. The three expect to complete the distance in about one and a half to two hours.

Since elementary school, Theresa, Becki and Katie have been involved in various community and fundraising events, including Relay for Life, United Way, children’s charities, Heart and Stroke and since moving from the area to attend school, they regularly volunteer in numerous ways in their newly adopted communities. Theresa is a graduate student in Guelph, Becki is finishing a post-graduate program in Toronto, and Katie is working as a nurse in Toronto.
