ARCOLA - The third annual Creative Tables cancer run, walk and ride was held on Aug. 13, beginning at the Arcola Optimist Legion Hall.
Each person could choose to go five, 10 or 15 kilometres, and at 10 a.m. they had a mini mile that was created for the kids.
To organize this event, it takes several volunteers. Along the way, check stops are posted for runners who need to refuel on water.
Each participant looks for donations for cancer and Bill Wyatt was the top fundraiser, raising $1,000.
Four youngsters went above and beyond in collecting donations. Kitt Currie, and Connor, Luke and Emmett Johnston raised the roof for the fight against cancer with their donations.
Const. David Madill from the Carlyle RCMP joined in as well, keeping an eye on everyone’s safety. He enjoyed showing the kids the police gear and vehicle. Kids had a chance to sit in the cruiser and put on a vest.
According to Darlene Olsen, the organizer of Creative Tables, the weather was perfect for the 29 participants.
They were grateful for the Arcola Health Centre and their staff when an incident occurred with a runner from Estevan. It all worked out for the runner.
Olsen said this is another wrap for this year and she was pleased with the turnout. She hopes to see everyone at the Creative Tables event which will be held on Oct. 12.
