A step ahead of cancer
Survivor joins walk for first time DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com CARP – Laurie Coady missed walking with her “training buddy” while she did the Weekend to End Women’s Cancer June 5 and 6. Her husband Bernie would awaken her those mornings they trained. Poured the coffee. While walking the 10 kilometres from Diamondview Road to Craig Side Road, past Trudeau’s Golf Ball, along Carp Road into the village, they would talk about their lives, the kids, life in general. “I really missed him,” Coady said. “He wanted to (do the charity fundraiser) with me. But I needed to kick cancer in the ass. I needed to say, ‘I’m going to beat you every time.’” Coady, among the 100 participants who raised $2.1 million by walking 60 kilometres, bringing the fundraiser’s total to $11 million over five years, sent the message to cancer loud and clear. “It was very brazen of me,” said the mom of two young women, who in 2008 battled breast cancer. “When I do something I go for broke.” However, Coady is the first to say she didn’t do it all on her own. One neighbour brought her a dozen roses every week during those dark days of treatment. At the end, she congratulated Coady with a rose bush. Another friend and neighbour, Ruth Bradley Riley, inspired her to participate in the event, even though Riley herself has the rare fortune to say she hasn’t been touched by cancer. Coady said Bernie is her heart and soul, her rock, and the “best darn motivator and training companion” she could ask for. But it was Riley who humbled her to the necessity to participate. The two of them took part in the event. Between them they raised $9,480. “People like her are utterly amazing,” Coady said, adding that cancer survivors often seem to be those who can see the good, and stay positive. “I’m a glass half full person. Good support is key.” See WALK, page 23
Most of the 144 golfers got into the Mardi Gras spirit by decorating their golf carts, wearing masks and beads as well as bright Mardi Gras coloured outfits. This popular golf tournament was sold out two weeks before the event.
Women ace charity golf tournament Babs Harcourt tournament tops last year’s record amount DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com CORKERY – In a city well above par with the number of its charity golf tournaments, the Babs Harcourt Friendship Memorial Golf Tournament has quickly earned the reputation as one not to be missed. Rain or no rain. The inaugural tournament raised $3,000; the second year $7,000; and this year’s, held again at Greensmere Golf and Country
Club, on June 16, raised for The Lucille Broadbent Legacy Fund an impressive $11,000. “Everybody was very happy at the end and in good spirits,” said Dixie Trenholm, of the organizing committee. “If people can have that much fun when it rains, imagine next year.” The 144 registered lady golfers – many from West Carleton - were forced indoor after five holes of the shotgun tournament, many not getting a chance to play the club’s new
