Some of Gord’s other involvements include, volunteering with the Canadian Cancer Society & Parkinson’s Society. Some of his other interests include the Royal St. John’s Regatta where he has been involved as a rower since 1993 and coxswain since 1997 and in 2008 won the Kim Stirling Memorial ladies championship with the H. J. O'Connell ladies crew. Gord is humbled by amazing support from the supporters throughout the province, the local business community and the amazing group of volunteers that help him keep his mother’s memory alive year after year!

Lesley Priddle is the treasurer of LFL and completes other tasks, including the design and delivery of our annual lapel pin. Lesley has been with LFL since its inception in 2003 and holds a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in economics from Memorial University. Since graduation she has gained employment with a major corporation in St. John’s. Lesley is a dedicated volunteer with Girl Guides of Canada acting as a Girl Guide and Pathfinder leader as well as a provincial trainer. Lesley has participated in several cancer related fundraisers including, Climb for Cancer, Cure Quest and Curl for Cancer. Lesley is particularly interested in helping LFL as it raises money for cancer research and also provides everyone who knew Lillie Delaney a special way to remember her with a smile.

Andrew McArthur joined LFL in 2006 and is the volunteer and logistics coordinator for LFL. Andrew is a graduate of the Michener Institute in Toronto and is currently employed as a Cardiovascular Perfusionist with the provincial cardiac surgery program. Andrew is a member of several hospital committees as well as national and international professional organizations and has taken part in other charitable events such as Curl for Cancer and Shave for the Brave. Andrew has many fond memories of Lillie and realizes that she was a very unique person who would be overwhelmed by the work being done in her memory.

Alison Moore joined LFL in 2006 and assists with fund-raising and special projects for LFL. Alison has completed a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education, both from Memorial, and is the proud teacher of a grade 5 class in Ferryland. Alison participates in fund-raising efforts for various cancer related projects and some of her personal activities include dancing and rowing. Alison will forever remember Lillie for her humour and generosity.

Jen Carroll has just recently joined LFL and is overseeing sponsorships and donations. Jen has completed a Bachelor of Nursing from Memorial and is a community health nurse with Eastern Health. An active volunteer, Jen lends her time to the Canadian Red Cross, Street Reach, and is a reservist with the Royal Newfoundland Regiment Band. When not working or volunteering, you will find her training and rowing in the Royal St. John’s Regatta. While Jen never met Lillie, she knows her giving nature is continued through LFL and that is something she is proud to be a part of.

Karen Ennis is a long-standing supporter of the campaign but has just recently joined the LFL committee. She is overseeing entertainment for the LFL charity concert. This is a perfect fit for Karen, as she has been involved in the music industry for almost 2 decades, winning several Music NL awards, as well as a Juno award (Ennis Sisters). When Karen is not performing with Ennis, her other passion is fitness and is working towards her fitness instructor certification. Karen never knew Lillie well but knows they shared a passion for music, laughter and giving to others.
