A documentary about the Weekend to End Breast Cancer Walk
I copied the following information from the Weekend to End Breast Cancer website. It will give you and me an idea of what this walk is all about.
DON’T STAND STILL (And don't miss this documentary!)
On Tuesday March 8th, from 10pm to 12am, W Network will air the documentary “Don’t Stand Still,” a film which tells the story of seven women who participated in last year’s Weekend to End Breast Cancer walk in Toronto. Each of these women have experienced breast cancer first-hand or in their immediate family. Joanne (39), MJ (40), Sandra (59), and Allison (34) have all personally fought breast cancer; Anita, Susan, and Kiran lost their mother Rani to the disease two years ago. The women share their stories of the cancer journey; they are shown in treatment and with their families and friends. The cameras follow them as they struggle to conquer the 60 kilometres, which comes to symbolize their victory over the disease.
The film is moving, inspirational, and celebratory. For anyone who participated in last year’s walk in Vancouver or Toronto, it recaptures the exhilaration and camaraderie experienced through the weekend. For those of you planning to participate in the walk for the first time in 2005, it will give you a glimpse into the spirit you will find along the way. And it reminds all of us why we are doing this and why we must continue to do it until we find a cure.
“Don’t Stand Still” is a film by Gemini Award winning producer Lynn Harvey (The Juno Awards, The Gemini Awards, Jonovision).
