I Move Forward

When Marc Kimmelman was diagnosed with cancer, his friends knew that what would lift his spirits was the opportunity to create art and help others.  He did just that, holding “I Move Forward” a one night event that filled the Jane Mallet Theatre at the St. Lawrence Centre for the Performing Arts.  Inspiring and beautiful, the show featured speeches and performances from Marc’s friends, many of them cancer survivors themselves, emphasising the importance of attitude in beating cancer. With over 50 artists donating their exceptional talents, the program was amazing and diverse, switching seamlessly from Hallelujah to Ali in the Jungle.  Through ticket sales, a raffle for donated prizes an the sale of commemorative t-shirts, the event raised a staggering $38,000 for the Actors’ Fund with money going to help artists with cancer.
