Margie's Gang

 

We are walking for Georgia Margaret Gass (Margie) who passed away May 11, 2015. She loved life, her family and friends and the South Shore of Nova Scotia. Despite a career in the foreign service which took her to Europe, Africa and Asia and frequent stays in New York, she remained deeply grounded in Nova Scotia. She was an irresistible friend who kept in touch with a worldwide network. She loved the arts and hooked rugs, painted and made beautiful photographs. She acted and had an incredible dress sense. She was beautiful. Margie was also courageous and she fought back. Together with her friend Evelyne, she organized a fundraiser for ovarian cancer in Halifax which raised $100,000. Margie was a "doer" and enjoyed everything that life had to offer. We are walking in her memory and to honour her desire to help women with ovarian cancer learn earlier that they have the disease and live longer.

From coast to coast...and around the globe..Margie's gang walks, runs and bikes to raise money in Margie's honour. Each year we are able to outdid what we accomplished the year before! She would be so proud. Unfortunately there is still work to be done! Let's make 2024 the best year yet!  

Whether you walk or donate and wherever you are, we greatly appreciate your support!
