Kayaker for Cancer in Bronte Thursday Michael Herman, 29 of Bolton, who is kayaking solo across the Great Lakes from Thunder Bay to Toronto, raising funds for the Canadian Cancer Society, is sched- uled to arrive at Bronte Harbour Pier on Thursday, Sept. 15th at 3 “My main goal is to raise aware- ness and funds for the Canadian Cancer Society,” said Herman, who was inspired by other fundraising marathons for charity, mainly the Carlos Costa, a legless swimmer who crossed Lake Ontario last year for Variety Village. Human left Thunder Bay on May 14th to travel 3,000 kilometres in a 19-foot ‘Seaward’ kayak. He is aver- aging 30 kilometres a day, and expects to arrive at Toronto’s Sunnyside Beach on Sept. 17th to end his trek. Velma/If lead II. Journey across Great Lakes “First established in 1964 as a means to raise funds for cystic fibrosis research and treatment through a community wide shoe shine blitz, Shinerama has since expanded and developed to include a variety of pro- jects around this traditional theme.” “Shinerama is the single largest charity event among Canadian college and university students,” says Sheridan’s Shinerama campaign director Tanya Sampson. Sheridan College is hoping to recruit 150 students for Shinerama on Wednesday, Sept. 14th, to raise $4,500 for cystic fibrosis research. Students will be shining shoes at various locations across town. About 20,000 from 60 colleges and universities hopes to raise $675,000 for the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Thanks to research, the sur- vival rate for those with cystic fibrosis has increased to about 30 from four years of age during the 19608. In 1989, the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis was discovered, a gene that one in 25 Canadians carry. There is no cure for cystic fibrosis, and those living with this disease must undergo rigorous therapy and treatments to ward off infections and inflammation which causes the progressive destruction of fragile lung tis- sue. For information about Shinerama, call Tanya Sampson at Sheridan College, 845-9430 Ext. 2304. Herman's grandfather has received four years of chemotherapy and radiation for bladder cancer, and his grandmother has received radia- tion treatments for breast cancer. Both are currently in remission. Herman has named his marathon ‘Kayaking 7 for Cancer â€" A Celebration of Life.’ "Today it is estimated one in three Canadians will \develop some form of cancer in their lifetime,” says Herman. “These are statistics you can’t run away from.” He noted, in addition to money “I don’t think anyone can say they’ve never been touched by can- cer.
