It turned out rain was no match for the 14th annual Rankin Cancer Run as PCHS staff and students helped raise funds for local cancer support here in Niagara!

A pre-race deluge turned the field/staging area at Grantham Lions Park into a quagmire and collapsed the tent from under which a local radio station was broadcasting, but the run itself went off without a hitch.

Tom Rankin, who lent his family and company name to the event in 2004, said the run will raise more than $1 million again this year, while run director Maryanne Edwards said a record number of 280 teams participated.

"Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would grow like this," Rankin said. "We just hoped to raise $100,000. Now, in the last few years, we have been above $1 million.
