Rockin' for a Reason


Some International Falls area residents will be Rockin' for a Reason in the fight against breast cancer.

Event coordinator Susie Best says more than fifty people have already taken up the challenge in the event that happens tomorrow at Ballan Furniture.

"They go out, raise pledges and then contact me to set up an hour," says Best. "They just rock for one hour in the comfort or a rocking chair at Ballan Furniture while sipping on gourmet coffee. It's not that torturous."

Over 23-thousand dollars have been raised since the event started five years ago with proceeds going to the Rainy Lake Medical Centre.
