Noelle’s ‘roomies’ & friends alike participated in the Ottawa 5k Santa Shuffle yesterday. Team member Julia Forbes told us “the day was full of smiles, laughter and many joyful footsteps on the pavement”.

Participants are growing in numbers since the yearly tradition started in 2012. Julia said she “was super proud of the teams efforts again, Noelle would have loved every moment of today”. The stocking was significantly stocked with more than their goal of $500 and 100% of proceeds will be donated to Noelle’s Gift in Sarnia, Ontario.

Julia and her Santa Shuffle team in Ottawa would like to thank everyone for their contributions. Noelle’s Gift sends a warm thank you (hug) to Julia’s team and those who supported them. The final donation will contribute to helping kids grow up great 🙂

PS. Thank you for the photos. What a bunch of smash hits!
