Steps for Life event raising money for families affected by workplace tragedy

Red Deerians have a chance this weekend to help raise money and awareness for those living in the aftermath of a workplace tragedy.

The Annual Steps for Life event takes place at the Bower Ponds Main Stage area on Saturday, May 5 and offers participants the chance to be involved in a 5 km fundraising walk that supports families dealing with a workplace death, injury or disease.

It’s described as a unique way to educate the community about the devastating ripple effects of a workplace tragedy and how people can work together to prevent others from being injured or killed on the job.

Wynny Sillito, Event Spokesperson, Steps for Life – Red Deer and workplace injury survivor himself, says in a press release that with each step we take, we raise funds and awareness of the importance of safety in the workplace.
