This summer gloss girls Whitney and Lauren are teaming up to conquer cancer by participating in the Joe’s Team Triathlon for Toronto’s Princess Margaret Foundation.
The inspiration behind the event is Joe Finley, a cancer survivor and founder of the most successful grassroots fundraising initiative in the history of the Princess Margaret.
Whitney on participating:
“It’s been such a pleasure to assist Joe and Cara Finley with media relations for Joe’s Team. Their passion, and their dedication to bringing people together for a life changing event to conquer cancer is absolutely contagious. How could I not participate?! Check out this video. A small taste of this great event and the amazing people involved. Still can’t watch without getting teary! Looking forward to taking on a challenge beyond anything I’ve ever done before. Hope you can join us.”
Lauren on participating:
“Joe Finley is one of the most inspirational men I have ever met. After meeting Joe Finley for the first time, I quickly made up my mind to participate in the event. What really made me want to participate was when Joe mentioned the feeling you get after accomplishing a feat like this. He also mentioned the strength in numbers and how this event will truly be making a difference.”
This Thursday April 23rd, Whitney and Lauren will take their fundraising to the next level by throwing a fundraising event to benefit the cause at the Foundation Room.
