Friends are calling on friends on behalf of a friend. Everyone over the age of 18 is invited to attend a benefit dinner and dance for Sherrie Favell on Saturday, Oct. 10.
Eight years ago, the longtime community booster had surgery and chemo to battle her initial round of stage 3 cancer. In June, she was told it had metastasized and is now stage 4.
Favell has taken on this battle in her usual warrior style and has been working full-time at McGuire Lake Lodge.
But, while she loves her job and is worried she will become depressed if she doesn’t have it to look forward to every day, the effects of three chemo sessions, with another one this week, are taking their toll.
The Friends Helping Friends 2 Benefit Dinner and Dance takes place from 4 p.m. to midnight at the Seniors’ Fifth Avenue Activity Centre and features live musical entertainment, buffet-style dinner with beef on a bun, salads and desserts, a great silent auction and door prizes. Dancing to great tunes spun by local radio personality Patrick Ryley will follow.
All proceeds go to support Favell. Tickets can be purchased at 140 Harbourfront Dr., or call Liz at 250-833-1103 or Penny Favell at 250-253-0574.
