A written poem by Eileen Kingshott

Breast Cancer Snow Run for Fun
"Let's go Girls" and take that ride
Just be careful, don't collide
Money collected is for a good cause
So give yourself a big applause
Today we're going on our first ride
Filled with joy, and lots of pride
Something new, to do this year
For all those women who live in fear
Such a sight to be seen
We're the best we've ever been.


Girls on sleds ride the snow
Some are fast, some are slow
Riding high, and riding tall
Hope you really have a ball
Up and down, and over bumps
Watch out, Girls, for those stumps
Lots of fun and laughter too
As we ride, for me and you
Look there's Gertie, on her Panther
She is ready to ride for cancer.


Some will do the purple run
They'll surely like that longer run
Others will do the Blue Jay run
Enjoying the day in the sun
As we ride, we'll think of Penny
She is one of oh so many
There is Courtney, Margie and Louise
A relative, a friend with this disease
This Breast Cancer is our concern
We all have so much more to learn
Thanks to Kelly who got us together
Did you order this nice warm weather?
And thanks must go to Rock 95
You made us all want to drive.


Over the wave, we heard you, Sue
Don't forget to thank the crew
Some are staying here overnight
That should be a great delight
Tired and sore, it's getting late
I'm glad they gave this special rate
Drag yourself off to bed
Rest your bones and oh, that head
You showed you cared in a special way
Thanks for the rewarding day
Many thanks for the helping hand
You know the money is in demand
So you Girls, the day is done
You are all considered Number One.
