Sunday's Run for the Cure has raised $193,000 for cancer research. Spokesperson Hiadee Goldie, tells CHSJ news the money will be used for promoting cancer awareness and finding a cure in Atlantic Canada.

Goldie says this is the first in nine years that it rained on the day of the event--but--adds it didn't dampen anyone's spirit. About two thousand people turned out for yesterday's run.
