POLARIS WAY OUT WOMAN
WOW what a ride
A good time was had by all of the Way Out Woman Relay for breast cancer research
by KIRSTEN ARMLEDER
Thirty women came from 10 different provinces to snowmobile Canada in an effort to raise money and create awareness in their fight against breast cancer. They were able to raise a little under $240,000 for this worthy cause. SnoRiders West advertising consultant Cora Tschetters, one of three B.C. representatives, described the ride as "one incredible experience for the worthwhile cause for breast cancer research."
Tschetters also took her camera along for the ride and brought back with her the following photos:
