In less than a month the Parham fairgrounds will be lit up by hundreds of candles to celebrate the lives and strength of the people in this community who have battled cancer. This disease has touched virtually everyone of us in some way, and now we have a chance to do something about it. FIGHT BACK. You can register a team, join a team that already exists, volunteer your time to help the event be the success it is or buy luminaries to help light the way for our walkers, all of these are ways that you can personally fight back against the disease that never sleeps.

To register a team, it couldn't be easier. Contact Christine Teal at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and she will ensure that you are registered as a new team or she can place you on an existing team.

With the purchase of luminaries, the candles that light the track through the night, you can personalize the luminary to honour a loved one. The purchase of 5 luminaries, will enter you in a draw for a Friday night dinner for two at the Sharbot Lake Legion. To purchase luminaries, or to volunteer for the event contact Lyann Smith at This email address is being protected from spambots.
