			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Twenty-five years ago I was 6 years old. I had a younger brother Robert who was two and a half&#8230;and that was as old as he would ever get. I remember that cold winter day on February 14, 1985 (yes Valentine&#8217;s Day) when I was taken home from elementary school like it was yesterday. Walking home with my grandparents who were in from out of town visiting. As I came around the corner I could see my house and the cars that lined the road way. I knew something was drastically wrong. I ran like I&#8217;ve never run before and flew through the door of my parents house. It was then I realized just what had happened. Robert had been sick almost since he was born and spent a lot of time at the hospital. I even spent a lot of time at the hospital but nothing like my parents did. Luckily we had good close family friends I could stay with. At first it was fun going to sleepovers. After weeks of sleepovers though, they became less and less fun.</p>
<p>Since losing Robert to Medulloblastoma, I&#8217;ve lost two grandparents, a great uncle, two great aunts and several family friends. I have friends who have battled and survived. Even friends who have beaten it multiple-times and still lost the battle one final time. There&#8217;s no doubt in my mind how much of an impact cancer has had on my life&#8230;and I&#8217;ve been fortunate enough to never have had it.</p>
<p>Honestly, I remember the good times and great impact these people have had on my life. It&#8217;s because of these people and even those whom I&#8217;ve never met, nor may have the opportunity to meet, that <strong><span class="blue">Tight</span> ‘n <span class="purple">Bright</span></strong> is around. It&#8217;s a reason to party. A reason to raise funds and awareness. Most importantly though, it is a reason to celebrate life! I life we are each fortunate to currently have and the lives of those who we&#8217;ve lost. As with our first <strong><span class="blue">Tight</span> ‘n <span class="purple">Bright</span></strong> party in 2009, our goal for this annual event is to raise funds in excess of <strong>$20,000</strong> to go directly to the Tom Baker Cancer Centre in Calgary. We, myself and the team involved, would like you to join us for a fun filled, theme evening on <strong>Saturday, March 20</strong>, 2010 for the <strong>Second Annual <span class="blue">Tight</span> ‘n <span class="purple">Bright</span></strong> – it&#8217;s where a party can help find a cure.</p>
<h3>Organizers</h3>
<p>The key group of organizers have lost immediate family members, friends and even had scares of their own. The core group consists of three individuals.</p>
<p>Marshall Stevenson, Monica Subrt and Andrew Stevenson. Each has their own story and reason why they are involved in <strong><span class="blue">Tight</span> ‘n <span class="purple">Bright</span></strong> 2010.</p>
