QRFL and TRO have collaborated to create a piece that pays tribute to the power of a luminary bag. Relay for Life allows us to hope, support those around us, and celebrate those we have lost. The hoodie depicts a luminary bag, a symbol of honour for those who are living with, and who we have lost to cancer. We see glowing stars erupting from the bag, indicating that even in the darkest of times, there will be light. The glow of the luminary bag represents the unity and strength of a community that stands together against cancer, and just like the hoodie says, “Together, we are unstoppable.”

Lucille Davies and Nancy Lemont joined us in the shoot. They are both breast cancer survivors from the Breast Cancer Action Kingston (BCAK) dragon boat team, the “Chestmates.” Lucille was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011, followed by recurrence and a second diagnosis in 2012. She joined the Chestmates 2 years ago. Nancy is a 24-year breast cancer survivor and has been a member of the Chestmates 20 years ago. Since she lost her younger sister to breast cancer 30 years ago, she has made a significant impact on cancer awareness.

This past year, Nancy and Lucille lost three of their Chestmates teammates. In this collaboration, we honour these incredible women and the many others who we have lost to cancer. The Chestmates are a fierce, loving, and courageous group who live by their motto, “You are not alone.”
