Jessa Smith

For Christmas 2011, Jessa Smith gave a close family friend the gift of not being alone.  Jessa, 11, decided to shave her head in honour of Cathy Lattin.  Cathy, a very close family friend was diagnosed with breast cancer would probably  start losing her hair over the Christmas break.  To show her love and support for Cathy during this difficult time, Jessa shaved her head in support of Cathy. Not only did Jessa raise $1,720 for the Breast Cancer Society of Canada, she also donated her hair to the Locks of Love foundation.  

Thank you Jessa! Your bravery and generosity is an inspiration to us all!

 Nicole Kundert

Nicole decided that she wanted to fundraise so she thought she should do what she does best. Create. So she made a catalogue of things she could make or bake. The catalogue had pictures and prices and included picture frames, cookies, bags, cupcakes, magnets, coasters, bracelets and key chains.

Her catalogue was distributed to friends and her parents’ coworkers. She received many orders for her inexpensive handmade items.  Her friend emptied her piggy bank to donate. When her Dad’s boss paid $20.00 for one cupcake she remarked that she wanted to marry that man someday!

On her 11^th birthday she presented her donation to her Aunt, a three-year breast cancer survivor, to give to the Breast Cancer Society of Canada. In less than two months Nicole Kundert, all on her own, had baked and crafted and raised $200.00. She is a very special young lady and is an example to all of us of what one heart can do.

Thank you for your support Nicole! 

Colton and Elyse

Brother and sister team, Colton and Elyse wanted to "give back" by creating colourful duct tape bows (attached to a hair elastic or a bobby pin) as a fundraiser for the Breast Cancer Society of Canada.

The sale of these one of a kind bows totaled $75!

Thank you for your support Colton and Elyse!   

Rachel & Haley

Two friends Rachel and Haley dropped by the Breast Cancer Society of Canada office with their donation of $24.40. They raised this money by hosting an old fashioned lemonade stand.                                            

Thank you for your support girls!  

Mitch

Mother's Day Walk 2010: Seven-year-old Mitch was there for his Grade 2 teacher that he calls Mrs. Fitz who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. "She's a wonderful lady. He would do anything he can," said Kim Keelan, Mitch's mother. Mitch also recruited his grandfather Brian Keelan for the walk. "He loves Mrs. Fitz," said the recruit.

Thank you Mitch!
