Last night I attended a charity event to raise money for the Bethel Hospice located in Caledon, Ontario. The event consists of closing the runway and walking down the entire length of runway 15/33 at night, with nothing more than candles along the edge of the paved runway. All of the proceeds go to Bethel Hospice [bethellhospice.org] to help fund their annual costs. If anyone would like to donate, here is the event page [bramptonflightcentre.com].
The whole event was really nice to attend, the weather was nice, there was live music, snacks and beverages, lots of other people, and best of all it was all for a good cause! This event will be the first of many; the Brampton Flight Centre plans to make this an annual thing, and for good reason. Oddly enough, this was actually the first time I’ve walked down a runway of any sort – I’m glad it was this one. It was mesmerizing seeing the flames dance around at the edge of the runway. I hope that I’ll be able to attend the next one; this was a great first launch.
