Hats! Week #20

Laurel (a good friend that I have mentioned many times during this adventure!) emailed Paige and asked her if you would like a box of 20 awesome ball caps? Would she!!! We'll find a great home for the hats. Now it was time for a talk about who could use these hats...

Paige sat in her dads office chair intently looking at me as I explained what Cancer is. We talked about people we know that have Cancer, ones who have beat the disease and ones who have not. We talked about treatment and how hair loss can be a result. That's when Paige decided that she would like to donate the hats to..."I want to give them to people fighting Cancer". What a great idea. We decided to contact our local branch of Breast Cancer Services. We have a close family friend that was just diagnosed and know many others that have battled Breast Cancer. This is a cause close to our hearts and having the opportunity to help out is awesome.

We called the office and spoke to Laura. She encouraged us to come down to the office to see her. We drove right down and were greeted by smiles as we walked in. Paige said hello and handed Laura the box. She asked Paige if she would like to help out with another fundraiser. Paige said "Yes!" and followed her into the next room. Laura handed her a brochure of the "Healing for Breast Cancer" 5 & 10km run/walk on Saturday, June 12th at Bronte Creek Provincial Park. So great! Paige decided then that she was going to run the 5km. She also decided her aunt Jenn had to do it with her too. Sooooo auntie Jenn get ready to run!

Thanks again to Laurel (you're the best!) and to Laura at Breast Cancer Services (see picture with Paige) for your warm response and positive encouragement. You can help out too! Check out www.breastcancersupport.org for general information or www.vrpro.ca to sign up for the run!
