Catherine has saved her allowance and given to CHEO (Childrens Hospital of Eastern Ontario), bought gifts for Toy Mountain (the gifts go to underprivileged children for Christmas) and helped support The Shelter for Abused Women and Children. As her mom I want to support her in these kinds of efforts. Her big sister has given donations as well but this is the first time we have undertaken a fundraiser.

Catherine is always willing to help those who are suffering, who have had some bad luck or who are in need. In her short life, she has already had people close to her fight cancer. Thankfully most of the stories have had happy endings. She was very supportive of her grandmother when she underwent radiation and went to a few of her appointments with her and her dad.  She was only 4 when this happened and didn’t completely understand what was going on, only that Granny was sick. Her grandmother is completely cured and we are so happy. The wigs will help those in their battle to have a bit more dignity and self confidence so they can fight harder. Now we’re hoping to have more happy endings for other families and with the funds raised we’ll help find a cure so that no one ever loses a loved one to cancer again!
