She\u2019s watched the struggles of her mother, her cousin and her mother\u2019s cousin enough to know that behind the statistics are the identities of family and friends and the people who care for them.<\/p>\n<p>Panter will take some of their names on the road with her when she does the Rankin Cancer Run on May 29. She will join Brock\u2019s Community Connections team to run five kilometres through St. Catharines raising money for cancer research. She will run wearing a T-shirt covered in names collected from the Brock community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to show how many people it\u2019s touched,\u201d said the publications and Convocation events assistant in the Office of the Registrar. \u201cIf people haven\u2019t experienced it directly, usually they have a friend or relative it\u2019s touched. This is just a way to acknowledge that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some of the names represent people who have survived cancer. Others are relatives Brock employees have lost. Some are full names, while others are less specific, like \u201cAnna\u201d or \u201cGrandma K.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Panter has more than 50 names so far. She\u2019d like to get more. She may drop off the T-shirt at various departments to have them add names, she said. She can also be contacted at 905-688-5550 x3429, or <a href=\"mailto:dpanter@brocku.ca\">dpanter@brocku.ca<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Brock team still needs runners or walkers. Anyone interested can email Jamie Wheeler at <a href=\"mailto:jw05qt@brocku.ca\">jw05qt@brocku.ca<\/a> and include their T-shirt size. Participants can also sign up online at <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.rankincancerrun.com\/register\/member\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">secure.rankincancerrun.com\/register\/member<\/a> and join the Brock University team.<\/p>\n<p>Participants can run or walk one kilometre or five kilometres.
