Lets make a difference together!

We had our last Committee meeting before Shania's huge annual fun fair, which is in less than two weeks away. There is a huge amount of work behind the scenes to set up this fun filled family day, but this is truly a labour of love for Karen and I. We have an incredible group of kind and caring people on Shania's fun fair committee, they take time out of there busy lives to help in Shania's cause. Karen and I would like to thank Anji Sharp, Janine Brauer, Jodi Folkes, Alison Lyon, Michele Ward, Terry Woods, Sandy Kerr, Nitsa Mangos, Robert Graup, Melissa Shorley, Lina Dinardo, Brenda Taylor, Heather Fornear, Adrienne Long, Sherry Coombs, Dana St Louis, Lynn Gomes, Paula Tobias ( Tim and Deb Fittler for Shania's Golf Tournament) from the bottom of our hearts for believing in shania's dream for a cure, which helps these children suffering from this dreadful disease. You cannot imagine what this hope means to these Children and there families. "Hope" is a powerful thing and without it there would be no chance for a cure. There are people that doubt that there will ever be a cure for cancer, but we have seen how committed the people at SickKids Foundation and The Hospital for Sick Children are in finding a cure for this childhood cancer. Everyone has been effected by cancer in one way or another, a spouse, a family member, a friend. To do nothing shouldn't be an option, this would be like turning your back on them and just waiting for the big C to hit you. They are saying that very soon 1 in 2 people will get cancer, this is fact not fiction. I've heard it being called the silent epidemic. But on the positive side of these facts are that we can turn things back around. Shania taught us a life lesson (: she wanted to be a teacher when she grew up :) that we should never forget and that is that anyone can make a difference, young and young at heart! We hope to see you and your friends at Shania's Sunflower of hope Fun Fair, lets make a difference together!

We will always believe in and love you Shania we will we will!
Love Shayne, Karen & Shannon
