I was honoured to be one of the photographers (ticdesign: Team Clickin’ Cancer’s Butt) volunteering to cover the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life in Edmonton on May23/24, 2009.
The day was beautiful. It was full of tears, laughter, and hugs; but most importantly there was this amazing presence of Unity and Hope.
Here is the day: a picture story of Hope.




The survivor balloon release…

I think a few of the balloons form the shape of a heart in the middle..can you see it? That’s for you Chris.






These fabulous girls were celebrating the bride’s stagette (she’s getting married next week-end!) by doing the Relay for Life. Fantastic!





















I’m such a slacker! amazing pics, Christine. It’s always an honour to shoot with you.
You are anything but a slacker Hope! It was an honour to shoot with you too. Thank you so much for the opportunity.
Beautiful photo’s, I totally see the heart.
I’m glad you see the heart too
There’s definitely a heart there
I just love the way you see things, Christine… such a great perspective – both in terms of the photography, and your attitude!!
Very well done Christine!! As always. I see the heart!! Maybe I should have stuck around longer to learn a few things from you.
Fantastic shots Christine!
It was fun having the opportunity to visit & shoot along with you.
