In the hours after BRIGHT Run 2020, the organizing committee received messages from many of you, including 157 emails to event chair Nancy McMillan, who wrote:

“One large team went to the Juravinski Hospital and walked the perimeter to wave at the windows and salute their teammate/leader who is in hospital. Another team got together for a “shave day” to prep for the next chemo. One patient and three friends shaved their heads together, all in their BRIGHT Run T-shirts, with huge smiles and thumbs up.”

And here are some thoughts from participants…

“He (Steve Ewoniak) is so articulate and well spoken. Great choice for this year’s face of BRIGHT!“
