What a Fantastic Afternoon at Cumberland for a Wonderful Cause!
We had an absolutely fantastic afternoon here at Cumberland as we came together to support the Cancer Council’s Biggest Morning Tea—a cause close to many of our hearts. The event was beautifully decorated and thoughtfully arranged by our lovely resident, Di, who pours her heart into organizing it every year. Her attention to detail and passion for the cause truly shone through, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all.
Residents gathered to enjoy a delightful afternoon tea, sharing not only delicious treats but also powerful stories of strength, survival, and hope. One of the most moving moments of the day came when our dear resident Linda stood up to share her personal journey with cancer. She spoke candidly about her highs and lows, offering a deeply inspiring account of resilience and positivity. Linda’s courage and openness touched everyone in the room.
Linda is a cherished member of our community—not only for her strength but also for her vibrant spirit. She leads both our Zumba and Walk in Water classes, encouraging others to stay active and connected. Her advocacy and support for others facing similar battles make her a true beacon of hope and strength within Cumberland.
Thanks to the generosity of our residents and the wider community, including proceeds from our raffle and heartfelt donations, we are proud to announce that we raised $1,200 for the Cancer Council. Every dollar brings us one step closer to better support, research, and ultimately, a cure.
It’s truly heartwarming to be part of such a compassionate and supportive community—one that not only celebrates life but also stands together in the face of adversity. Thank you to everyone who contributed, participated, and shared in this meaningful event. Together, we continue to make a difference.
