PROheros found the real heroes at the Canadian Cancer Society

Over the past few months PROheros Cosplay Entertainment had the honor of participating in this year's 2018 Kingston Relay for Life sponsored by the Canadian Cancer Society. #KingstonSpiderwoman was very honored to be able to fundraise and participate in this very meaningful and powerful event.

PROheros was able to organize many different ways you could donate, our Facebook Shop will continue to stay open for any further donations to carry into the next years to come (or if you're just interested in buying our merchandise regardless) and our Participation Centre will remain open until the end of August.
"Lastnight was a huge honor to meet and walk with so many fighters, survivors, children, participants, teams and volunteers. I'm overwhelmed at how much #KingstonSpiderwoman was loved by everyone at Relay For Life Kingston - Kingston Relay For Life and it was an honor to meet members of the Canadian Cancer Society You all are the real #proheros and heroes! It made walking (however many laps) non-stop for 6 hours way more than worth it, and I was very touched to have 2 teams clap as I finished my final lap. A big thank you again to everyone who donated and you will see PROheros again next year!" - Jessica Dunning, CEO of PROheros Cosplay Entertainment
From 6pm until midnight #KingstonSpiderwoman walked the relay non-stop and got to meet many people and hear many stories. It was definately an honor, and the real heroes are the survivors, fighters, friends and family who deal or try to delegate hope through cancer every day.

PROheros would like to personally give a BIG thank you to the following people, along with the members of the A.B.A.T.E Motorcycle Club - Woodstock Chapter 2, who selflessly donated - together we raised $271.00:
