Join your union, UFCW Canada Local 1006A, in raising money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC) by participating in our annual Ride for a Cure on Saturday, August 20, 2016. Participants and passengers will take an enjoyable motorcycle ride through Ontario's most beautiful country roads for a good cause.
Last year, our the Ride raised $8,000 to help the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada achieve their mission.
UFCW Canada Local 1006A is proud to have raised $100,006 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada in the past year.
The money was raised through union events and member fundraising initiatives across Ontario.
For the fifth year in a row, Local 1000A members and staff came together to Bowl for a Cure for Sickle Cell Anemia.
“This event is about doing our part to raise awareness about this devastating disease which affects so many people around the world,” said Jonathan Lobo, Local 1000A’s Community Action Coordinator (CAN).
For John Moroney, the memory of his wife, Debbie, was close to his heart as he took to his motorcycle for the annual Ride for a Cure for leukemia and lymphoma.
Debbie, married to John for 32 years, was just 55 when she passed away last fall from lymphoma.
“I am out for the memories of my wife,” said Moroney, a receiver at Loblaws Real Canadian Superstore in Georgetown, Ontario. “It’s also about meeting friends I haven’t seen in a while."
Moroney was among the many riders from Local 1000A, Local 175&633, and Local 333 who took to the roads of Southern Ontario to raise approximately $8,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada.
