Way back in October of this year a few fortunate ones of the Tour de Cure family enjoyed a morning of Putt Putt with some of Camp Quality's finest.
Among the contenders were the ever competitive Cougar, Mal, Kate and Josh, with a cameo from duo Rick Horvat and fiance Ellen. Slowing up each hole was the Hollier duo, who should probably got in some practice before the tournament of all tournaments in Putt Putt.
We should not however discount our younger rivals and their golfing skills. However it was the seasoned veterans that struggled on the twisting courses and undulating hills. Our young foes showed skill and poise above their years when facing a tough par shot and the less then pleasing face of Mr. McBride willing them to miss.
Despite the fierce competition that ensued on the putt putt course, there was a grander purpose to the morning, and this was to present Camp Quality with $85,000 to go towards their National Camp to be proudly supported by Tour de Cure.
This $85,000 will go directly to the formation of a National Camp for those children and their families suffering from Cancer. Camp Quality will use this money to formulate the structure, location and timing of the Camp to occur in 2009.
A huge thanks to all those that came and were gracious in defeat. And to the continued effort of Camp Quality in making laughter the best medicine, Tour de Cure gladly laughs all the way to the bank with them.
