Last year was my first year doing Relay for Life and I was blown away by the amount of support I was able to get. I ended up in the top spot of donations with just over $2100. This year I'm upping my goal to $2500 BUT if I hit $3000 I will cut my hair during the relay! I will donate 12 inches of hair to go towards making a wig for children with cancer. When I was about 10 years old I cut my hair and donated it to make a wig for children with cancer. I felt drawn to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society and I named my team 'Shades of Hope'. No one could predict years later my mother would be diagnosed with cancer. Cancer is something that affects us all whether a family member, friend or yourself it is all something that we have a connection to. It is something that no one should experience alone. Working together we can make a real difference in the lives of those with cancer.

Please help me reach my fundraising goal for Relay For Life. It doesn’t matter how small the step, it makes a difference. Not only for those living with cancer now, but for those remembering and honouring those we’ve lost and helping prevent cancer in the future. A donation of $25, $50 or $100 (or even $5!) could help make sure a team of researchers has the resources they need to make a life-saving discovery or a patient has access to support services when they need it most. No matter how small you can make a difference! Think about the impact we can make together! Give your loved ones a hug, make sure you get your check ups regularly and take care of yourself.

If you have empty alcohol bottles/cans and live in North Bay, I'll be collecting them throughout the year, please save them and I will take them off your hands!
