To commemorate this tragedy, the families of the two young women are hosting ‘Blizzard for the Girls’ 1km/5km walk or run, honouring the girls with the blizzards they never got the chance to eat.

The event will take place in Centennial Park, located on Couch Crescent in Trenton, beginning at 10am.

Adult tickets are $27 and child tickets are $20. All children must be accompanied/supervised by an adult.

Tickets include a t-shirt, race bib, and a DQ voucher for a medium blizzard.

All net proceeds of this event will go to MADD Quinte and Humane Society Hastings Prince Edward.

Attendees are invited to bring their dogs along for the walk in honour of the girls’ dogs, Harley and Archie.
