Support the CPFF Walk for Helene! 

The FAB-5 would like to celebrate and pay tribute to Helene, who lived courageously with pulmonary fibrosis. Together through this event, they will lift each other up, raise awareness, and funds for pulmonary fibrosis to support those living with pulmonary fibrosis, those who have passed away, plus family, friends, and healthcare professionals who support them all.

Location & Meeting Spot

THE KINSMEN SOFTBALL COMPLEX, KELOWNA, BC

We will be meeting in the parking lot of Kinsmen Softball Complex and walking approximately 1.5 kms. After our walk we will raise a toast to Helene at Michaelbrook Golf Course.

Meet Our Dear Friend Helene

It is with affection and admiration that we introduce our dear friend, Helene. For many years, we had the pleasure of working together, forming not just professional bonds but deep, lasting friendships. It was Helene who, on the last Wednesday of 

the month, suggested we gather for dinner and drinks—a tradition that has now spanned 27 years.

Even though we are all now retired, our commitment to this monthly gathering has never wavered. We continue to meet for lunch on the last Wednesday of each month, cherishing the camaraderie and memories we have built over the years. Our group, affectionately known as the FAB-5, has seen changes in its members, but our name and spirit remain the same.

Helene was the heart of our gatherings, never missing a meeting until she became too ill to attend. Helene was an avid golfer and the restaurant at Michaelbrook became our go-to lunch spot. Her presence, laughter, and unwavering friendship have left an indelible mark on all of us. We honour her today and always, grateful for the joy and happiness she brought to our lives.

Her daily walks were a testament to her zest for life. In her honor, we hope you’ll join us as we Walk for Helene and then afterwards, lift a glass to toast our friend.
