They originally had a goal to raise $500, but that amount was quickly surpassed by a multitude of donations. The mission of this outreach, said a press release, was to create awareness throughout the University of Manitoba student population as well as the other residents of the province of Manitoba that cancer is something families deal with 365 days a year. “We recognize that many people only focus on cancer awareness during cer- tain months of the year, but if your family has been affected by cancer, you understand that this chronic illness never fully disappears from your minds,” TRIBUNE PHOTO SUBMITTED said Stovin, a Stony Mountain product, in a Bisons’ media release.
