Better Bodies Training Studio Host Fundraiser for Relay For Life

Movin’ for Life

On Thursday, June 7 the Better Bodies Training Studio will host a fitness fundraiser for Miramichi’s Relay for Life. Certified instructors, Shannon Cabel and Tobi Desveaux, will be leading participants through a high energy workout that is challenging and fun.

This is not the first year for Movin’ for Life. Tobi has organized this fundraiser in past years. “Although I am not on a team this year, I still wanted to help in some way and I don’t think that there is a better way to raise money. A couple of my friends, Stacey Dunfield and Shannon Cabel were on team Ripley’s Believe It or Not so we decided to join forces and offer this fitness fundraiser”.

The team Ripley’s Believe It or Not is honouring Mary Ripley who lost her battle with Gastric Cancer on January 19, 2012. Mary was a special lady who showed her support of the Relay for Life by attending last year’s event. The Ripley’s Believe It or Not team is captained by Melvin Ripley (Mary’s husband) and Tammy Turner (Mary’s daughter). The rest of the team consists of friends/family/kids that Mary babysat over the years. Stacey Dunfield is one of the team members whose life was touched by this amazing lady. “Mary had a heart of gold and raised a lot of babies on this river… my three included”!

The fitness fundraiser class starts at 6:30pm on Thursday, June 7. Tickets are only $10 and are available by contacting Tobi at 773-7697 or raytobi@rogers.com.

Remember. Celebrate. Fight Back!
