The first female Convoy departed from the Fifth Wheel Truck Stop in Cornwall, ON., at noon on Saturday, October 18th. After a distance of 62 km, the 29 trucks all piloted by female drivers arrived at the 730 Truck Stop in Cardinal, ON., where they were greeted by friends, family, and event sponsors. The drivers were very appreciative of the greeting party’s tribute to female truck drivers who came together for an amazing cause. Participating drivers raised a total of $15,000 for breast cancer research.

The Lavigne truck was driven by Jennifer Duval. Also participating were Kriska drivers Bertha Collette and Shelly Frew. Suzanne Lavigne also joined in on this momentous event alongside Shelly Frew.
