Realtor leads Relay for Life team

Kelly’s Team raised more than $2,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society.

Langley, B.C.’s George Porter of Sutton Group – West Coast Realty, along with his wife Donna, led a team of eight at the Relay for Life recently. Starting at 7 pm, the relay went through the night and finished 12 hours later. The team’s objective was to raise funds to fight against cancer as they took turns running or walking the local community track. 

The Porters got actively involved in the event after the devastating loss of their son-in-law Kelly Hall to cancer at the age of 46. “Kelly’s Team” took on the challenge encouraged by support from friends, family and colleagues. “The night was a success; we sang, walked and drank a lot of coffee,” says George. “Even Kelly’s children at the young ages of six, eight and 16 stayed up for the night.  It got pretty cool through the night but we made it.”

The team raised more than $2,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society, and has already committed to hold another event next year.
