Lorraine O’Quinn is shedding for shelter. After hearing one battered woman’s story at the Royal LePage National Conference in Vancouver, the sales rep with Royal LePage ProAlliance Realty in Trenton, Ont. says she was determined to do something extra for the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation, which supports Three Oaks Shelter in her local community.

“To help promote participation, I have committed to a much healthier, fitness orientated lifestyle and plan on shedding 30 pounds by Jan. 31, 2013. Hence the name for my conquest; Shedding for Shelter. I hope to raise $10,000 by my target date, which will go towards Second Stage Housing.”
