BRIGHT Volunteer Dinah Bechmanis 

“Knowing where and how the proceeds are used is very important.” 

Why/how did you originally get involved with BRIGHT Run? 

I got involved through Kathie Ward.  We were teammates on a breast cancer survivor dragon boat team. 

How would you describe your BRIGHT Run experience(s) to someone who is considering volunteering with us? 

Good experience, great knowing that proceeds stay here in Hamilton and make a big difference.  And it’s great working with other volunteers.
