It was a big success for Relay for Life from students and staff at Norwell Secondary in Palmerston.
Running on May 29th, around 200 students and staff took part to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society which made its return to the school after several years.
Relay for Life was held at Between the Lines in Listowel going for from noon to midnight. With a goal to raise $25,000, the record was more than doubled hauling in $51,486.61 for the Canadian Cancer Society.
Staff Advisor, Betty Douglas says the dedication, compassion and enthusiasm shown by students was inspiring and this achievement belongs to everyone who donated, took part, volunteered and supported the efforts.
