Support Shirley LeGresley in the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life May 26

Almost everyone has been touched by cancer at some time – perhaps it was you or one of your family members. The Marine industry is almost like a family; small enough that many of us know most of the other players.

Darlene Ballantyne, the Purchasing Manager from Stright-Mackay in Nova Scotia has reached out requesting support for one of her team members, Shirley LeGresley. Shirley has been a good friend and a great asset to the marine industry and she is participating in the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.

We hope you can help to make Shirley LeGresley the highest pledge earner in the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. As of last week, she’s in first place. Let’s keep her there. She will be walking on May 26th so check out this link and help support the cause,  http://convio.cancer.ca/site/TR?fr_id=11261&pg=entry

Also, you can call or email Darlene at darleneb@stright-mackay.com or (902)928-1907, ext 322.
