More than 2,000 people raised $6 million for cancer research in the “Weekend to End Breast Cancer” in Calgary.

Almost every participant in the two-day, 60-kilometre walk knows someone who’s had breast cancer. Ann Lines is a good example.

She has a photo of a friend of her’s named vicki on her t-shirt, and says she took part in Vicki’s memory. Vicki died of breast cancer just before December.

Each participant raised a minimum of $2,000 for the cause.

This was the second annual Weekend to End Breast Cancer in Calgary.
