What has been your favourite Shinerama memory to date?

My favourite Shinerama memory would have to be back in first year when I got to experience Shinerama for the first time. I knew what cystic fibrosis was because my cousin Stephen had it, but Shinerama was so new to me. Everyone was so energetic and loud as we washed cars for donations on Shine Day during Frosh Week.

What has been your favourite Shinerama memory to date? My favourite Shinerama memory so far is from StFX’s Shine Day in 2019. My co-coordinators and I got to drive around Antigonish to collect donation boxes as they filled up and hand out new ones to sites. It was so much fun to see the community support and all of the students out having a great time after spending months planning the day!
